What's Worth Reading: Actual case studies of Warren Buffett's purchases, profits and losses from these companies.

Downside: Oversimplified and surface level analysis, does not teach about managing risks in terms of diversification nor margin of safety. Might cause people to take unnecessary risks investing into one this companies mentioned in the book and expect returns showed.

Personally I would recommend reading Gone Fishing with Buffett by Sean Seah and Common Stocks Uncommon profits by Peter Lynch.

I'd love to hear what you think about this book!
