Book Description

"Trading is notoriously tough. But Altucher's new book adds a noteworthy addition to the library on Warren Buffett. He shows a lot of Buffett that isn't readily available in the existing common literature. Definitely required reading for any serious Buffett buff."
-Kenneth L. Fisher, Forbes' "Portfolio Strategy" Columnist Founder and CEO, Fisher Investments

"Finally, someone blows apart the myth that Warren Buffett is a buy-and-hold investor. Altucher has given us an insightful and well-written commentary on how Buffett has amassed his track record, and what we can do to emulate him. He details the trade-by-trade examples. This is a must read for anyone wanting to learn about how the Master Investor works."
-John Mauldin, author, Bull's Eye Investing editor of Thoughts from the Frontline (www.2000wave.com)

While Warren Buffett is considered the "world's greatest value investor," there's another side to Buffett that is rarely talked about. Although Buffett has gained recognition for his value investing approach to the markets, the fact is that nobody-over the past fifty years-has traded and invested with a more diverse group of strategies than Buffett.

Trade Like Warren Buffett challenges the current coverage of this great investor by including details of all of Buffett's investing and trading methods, including mean reversion, commodities, bonds, arbitrage, market timing, funds, as well as Graham-Dodd. To augment the discussion of each strategy, Trade Like Warren Buffett also includes interviews with leading financial professionals, who reveal in detail how they've successfully used the same techniques.

There is no one way to sum up Warren Buffett's investment style. But if you're interested in boosting the performance of your portfolio, Trade Like Warren Buffett can show you how.

A detailed look at the entire array of trading strategies and techniques used by Warren Buffett

Trade Like Warren Buffett challenges the current coverage of this great investor by including details of all of Buffett's investing and trading methods, including demographics, mean reversion, arbitrage, market timing, as well as Graham and Dodd. In addition to the value investing approach, this book discusses other, lesser-known trading strategies and techniques that have helped to make Buffett the greatest investor in history. To augment the discussion of each strategy, Trade Like Warren Buffett includes interviews with leading professionals who reveal in detail how they successfully use the same techniques as Buffett.

James Altucher (New York, NY) is a partner at Subway Capital, a hedge fund focused on special arbitrage situations, deep value, and short-term statistically based strategies.

Well worth reading.......2007-08-07

This is the single best volume on Warren Buffett's investment history. Written for the financial professional rather than the general reader, this book focuses on what Buffett actually did and how what he did changed significantly over time.
Altucher's account goes into detail and explains how Buffett's thinking evolved as the result of a changing financial environment and a more nuanced perspective on Dodd's notion of intrinsic value.

Bad for me!.......2006-12-22

I bought this book with the intention to learn something but i have not. The book is sectioned into lengthy paragraphs. the author also throws in some comments and interviews from other investment guru (how guru are they) but it makes reading even more confusing,

more often, the interviews serve no purpose to the chapter and tends to deviate away from topic.

A better book would be "The trading habits of warren buffett and georege soros"

A bad book for new investors.

Altucher's best work........2006-12-15

Trade Like a Hedge Fund and Super Cash are both brilliant books, with innovative ideas. However, this book is well researched and offers unique insight on Warren Buffett, showing us that Buffett is far more than what the media portrays him as in his investment style, which is, namely buy and hold forever, and diversify. Buffett is a focus value investor, who is not beyond engaging in event driven plays such as risk arbitrage, which this book covers rather well. In addition, he also ran one of the earliest hedge funds before they were even called hedge funds. A brilliant piece of work.

Review - Steven Anello.......2006-10-21

A rather informative book that could have delved deeper into some of the issues. Although the book was fairly comprehensive in its coverage of the subject matter, I was left feeling that it could have taken ideas just a little further to their logical conclusions.

Steven Anello

Awful but not Worthless.......2006-04-21

I am a Finance MBA and Buffettphile and this book barely held my attention. They did a very poor editing job. The numerous errors detract from the work. A lot of "Buffett-like" and "Buffett-style" speculation but not so much Buffett.

The book is lacking in too many areas to illustrate them all. I'll use the chapter on merger arbitrage as an example. Mr Altucher mentions some studies on merger arbitrage and how you can improve your success rate. He completely fails mention Graham's criteria for entering a merger arbitrage transaction as stated in the Intelligent Investor. The criteria are annualized 20% expected return and an estimated success probability of 80% or greater. Buffett probably still uses these. His overall treatment of merger arbitrage is woefully superficial. Anyone can calculate the return on capital if the merger succeeds. How do you determine the expected return on capital if the merger fails? How can you determine the implied probability of success from current market pricing? These and many other critical areas to one who practices merger arbitrage are not discussed.

While the book is not written in sufficient detail to actually be useful, Mr Altucher did cite many academic studies that I am anxious to read when I have the time. Mr Altucher, you got me. You put "Buffett" in the title and I bought the book.
