Warren Buffett Invests Like a Girl: And Why You Should, Too

Louann succinctly explains the science and studies showing that females are better investors than their testosterone charged, super confident, male counterparts. And yes, us males, with our at times large, yet fragile, egos may have a hard time accepting this fact. This is a must read for anyone who has or is interested in investing in individual stocks or selecting from a broad range of mutual funds (yes, women are better managers there too). In investing, poor information is worse than no information. Having successfully invested in stocks for the last 17 years, I can tell you the information is spot on. The book is well written and easy to read and digest. Of course the challenging part is implementing the advice. Personally, my biggest challenge is to SLOW down as I’ve developed a bit of a trigger finger. Most of her advice is very simple to implement, but not necessarily easy. The author speaks to the emotional highs and lows of Mr. Market. The challenging part is staying the course when the market has his or her inevitable mood swings. The book is way more than the title and worth way more than the price. Highly recommend.

There has been so much written about Mr. Buffett that "yet another" book about him and his investing philosophy has to really stand out from the crowd to get my dollars. Although I do not totally agree with the author's premise, this book is worth every cent.One of the difficulties that I have is trying to explain why I like Berkshire's corporate attitude so much to my wife, my kids, and my friends. This book gives me words to help with that, and of course makes a great Christmas or birthday gift. That it makes the Motley Fool cut doesn't hurt either, although I would not buy it based on that alone.Ms. Lofton has a story to tell, and comes across as credible. It is a quick read and a good one!

I was browsing Barnes and Nobles and saw the paperback version of this book and saw "Motley Fool" at the top and bought it. It is a book that I wish I had had years ago. Very well written and Louann adds a little humor to make it more interesting. I enjoyed it so much, I ordered a copy for my son...I really ordered two copies, one for my son and one for my youngest daughter, but somehow my order was messed up and only got one, so I'll just have my son to give it to her when he finishes.

The book is excellant. The Lady who wrote it did an outstanding job. She gives the history of Mr Buffett's life in investing. She gives documented proof that women are usally more carefull investors & she shows how Mr. Buffett has the same traits in his investing style. She did go over the few mistakes that Mr Buffett has made in his investments. She is also an investor & she says she learned alot from Mr Buffett It was an enjoyable read.

I found the book to be an easy read, mostly because it was really repetitive. It reminded me of the way you're supposed to give a speech: Tell 'em what you're going to tell 'em, then tell 'em, then tell 'em what you told 'em. I get it!

Very practical book on investing in equities. I wish I had read this book when it first was published.

I bought this book for my son, age 42, who is a Motley-Buffett devotee. I read chapters of it when we go to babysit our 16 month old granddaughter once a week. I like it much better than the Motley's RuleBreaker/RuleMaker book I am simultaneously reading at home. I have been a momentum swing trader and not a value investor, using Vector Vest and a cadre' of other would-be "experts" (free and by subscription) - There is no one right answer in tumultuous times. Learning when to get greedy and when to get fearful and not be talked out of it takes some a lifetime - especially later bloomers - who lacked time or capital before retirement. This book is light and pleasant reading with large enough type for older eyes.

This is a good book written for the average, everyday person to understand some really important principles in order to invest successfully.

Mr Warren Buffett investment strategies are in a class apart by themselves. One of the best books for begineers entering the Stock Market.
