Product Description:
With an insider's view of the mind of the master, Mary Buffett and David Clark have written a simple guide for reading financial statements from Warren Buffett's succccessful perspective.
Buffett and Clark clearly outline Warren Buffett's strategies in a way that will appeal to newcomers and seasoned Buffettologists alike. Inspired by the seminal work of Buffett's mentor, Benjamin Graham (The Interpretation of Financial Statements, 1937), this book presents Buffett's interpretation of financial statements with anecdotes and quotes from the master investor himself.
Potential investors will discover:
• Buffett's time-tested dos and don'ts for interpreting an income statement and balance sheet
• Why high research and development costs can kill a great business
• How much debt Buffett thinks a company can carry before it becomes too dangerous to touch
• The financial ratios and calculations that Buffett uses to identify the company with a durable competitive advantage -- which he believes makes for the winning long-term investment
• How Buffett uses financial statements to value a company
• What kinds of companies Warren stays away from no matter how cheap their selling price
Once readers complete and master Buffett's simple financial calculations and methods for interpreting a company's financial statement, they'll be well on their way to identifying which companies are going to be tomorrow's winners -- and which will be the losers they should avoid at all costs.
Destined to become a classic in the world of investment books, Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements is the perfect companion volume to The New Buffettology and The Tao of Warren Buffett.

Rating:  - Informative & Easy to Follow Book
I found this book to be very interesting and an informative investing book. Some investing books can be overwhelming; using terms and formulas that don't make sense and you can't understand where they came up with the numbers they are discussing. You won't find that with this book. This is a small book compared to some with only 173 pages however the layout is wonderful. Within the 173 pages are 57 chapters-that is a little over 3 pages a chapter and it includes a glossary of terms in the back of ... Read More
Rating:  - Buffett stamp of approval.....Mary Buffett's that is
This book is more for the beginning "investor" who wishes to learn more about investing/finances than he/she already knows, and learn some ideas from the master investor himself. However, the book falls short of any real informative ideas to really further your quest to become the next great investor. There isn't any fresh ideas in here that is worth reading if you are already familiar with finances. However, if you never read a book ever about this sort of stuff, it's a simple straight forward ... Read More
Rating: - Well done
Warren Buffet's performance over the course of his career has been simply incredible. At this late stage in the game, much is made of his unique prowess in extracting deals the ordinary investor could not possibly get.
