Book Description
Jetzt erscheint erstmals eine Warren Buffett-Biographie in Comic-Form. Sie zeichnet das Leben von Buffett nach - angefangen bei seiner frühen Kindheit bis hin zu seinem kometenhaften Aufstieg als legendärer Investor. Buffett wurde am 30. August 1930 - zur Zeit der Weltwirtschaftskrise - geboren. Diese Zeit der Entbehrungen prägte ihn nachhaltig, und schon als Kind war es sein Ziel, reich zu werden. Bereits im Alter von 6 Jahren erwachte Buffetts Geschäftssinn - er verkaufte Coca Cola mit einem Cent Gewinn pro Flasche; mit 13 trug er für 500 Kunden die Washington Post und The Times Herald aus; mit 14 verdiente er bereits 175 Dollar pro Woche - das war 1944 der Durchschnittsverdienst eines 25-jährigen. Im Alter von 19 Jahren las Buffett "The Intelligent Investor" von Benjamin Graham und beschloss, mehr über Wertpapieranalyse zu lernen. Zwei Jahre besuchte er die Wharton Business School; seinen Abschluss machte er an der Columbia University School of Business in Nebraska, unter Professor Benjamin Graham, der ihn später als Analyst bei Graham-Newman einstellte. Buffett entwickelte die Theorien seines Lehrers Graham weiter und suchte neue Herausforderungen: Mit 26 war er Chef von drei Unternehmen und verwaltete mehrere Millionen Dollar. In den Folgejahren kauft Buffett AMEX, Amerikas marktführendes Kreditkarten-Unternehmen, bringt Berkshire Hathaway wieder auf Erfolgskurs, rettet GEICO, den KFZ-Versicherer, den er als Student analysierte und der Benjamin Graham zu seinen Großaktionären zählt, und er rettet Salomon Brothers aus der Krise, und, und, und... Aber lesen Sie hier selbst alles über "das Orakel von Omaha"! Verschaffen Sie sich einen Einblick in die Denkweise dieses zweifellos größten Investors aller Zeiten und lernen Sie mehr über seine sieben goldenen Erfolgsregeln, wie z.B.: Entscheide dich für Unternehmen, die leicht zu verstehen sind. (Investiere nie in Unternehmen, die du nicht verstehst!). Entscheide dich für Unternehmen mit einer langfristig stabilen Performance. Entscheide dich für Unternehmen mit einer vielversprechenden Zukunft. Freuen Sie sich auf eine leichte, unterhaltsame und höchst informative Lektüre. Dieses wunderschön illustrierte Comic-Buch wurde von der bekannten japanischen Künstlerin Ayano Morio gezeichnet. Es wurde aus dem Japanischen ins Englische übersetzt und ist Wileys erstes Finanz-Comicbuch.

Book Description
"Beginning in 1956 in a spare bedroom in his parents' Omaha, Nebraska, home, Warren Buffett has built a personal fortune of four billion dollars. Today, Berkshire Hathaway, the investment company he controls, has eleven billion dollars in assets, including major holdings in Coca-Cola, Wells Fargo, American Express and Capital Cities/ABC. But Warren Buffet is much more than wealthy and successful. The man Fortune magazine has ranked as the eighth richest American has managed to accumulate this enormous wealth while maintaining a unique reputation for the highest integrity and ethics in the often cutthroat world of American business and high finance." "So impeccable is his reputation, in fact, that in August, 1991, when the venerable Wall Street firm of Salomon Inc. was abruptly rocked by a bond-trading scandal that threatened its very future, Warren Buffett was the unanimous choice of Salomon's board of directors, of its clients, of the Federal government, of regulators, investigators and investors to take over as interim chairman and restore the firm's shattered reputation." "In Warren Buffet: The Good Guy of Wall Street veteran business journalist Andrew Kilpatrick presents the story of Warren Buffet from his roots in Omaha, where his family goes back five generations, his youth (nicknamed "Fireball" by his father, he early demonstrated a gift for making money and at age eleven was making $1,000 a year from two paper routes), his education at Columbia University School of Business (Harvard rejected him on the basis of a ten minute interview) and how, at age twenty-six, he started the Buffett Partnership." "Kilpatrick explores Berkshire Hathaway's ownership of less glamorous but hugely profitable companies such as GEICO Insurance, See's Candies, Wesco Finance, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Scott Feltzer Manufacturing, and the World Book Encyclopedia. He provides insights into Buffett's business philosophy, his unqualified insistence on integrity, and his most daring financial operations." "This is the portrait of a man who made a fortune the old fashioned way, who eschewed the risky short-term strategies of the greed-ridden 1980s in favor of commonsense investments in companies of genuine permanent value. Kilpatrick reveals an extraordinary human being who combines financial genius, impeccable ethics, surprising to some, and a wonderful sense of humor." "Warren Buffett is an American original and this is his story."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Pages : 377
Book Description
“To say Charles Schwab is an entrepreneur is actually an understatement. He really is a revolutionary.”—Phil Knight, co-founder of Nike, author of Shoe Dog The founder of The Charles Schwab Corporation recounts his ups and downs as he made stock investing, once the expensive and clubby reserve of the few, accessible to ordinary Americans. In this deeply personal memoir, Schwab describes his passion to have Main Street participate in the growing economy as investors and owners, not only earners. Schwab opens up about his dyslexia and how he worked around and ultimately embraced it, and about the challenges he faced while starting his fledgling company in the 1970s. A year into his grand experiment in discounted stock trading, living in a small apartment in Sausalito with his wife, Helen, and new baby, he carried a six-figure debt and a pocketful of personal loans. As it turned out, customers flocked to Schwab, leaving his small team scrambling with scarce resources and no road map to manage the company’s growth. He recounts the company’s game-changing sale to Bank of America—and how, in the end, the merger almost doomed his organization. We learn about the clever and timely leveraged buyout he crafted to regain independence; the crushing stock market collapse of 1987, just weeks after the company had gone public; the dot-com meltdown of 2000 and its reverberating aftermath of economic stagnation, layoffs, and the company’s eventual reinvention; and how the company’s focus on managing risk protected it and its clients during the financial crisis in 2008, propelling its growth. A remarkable story of a company succeeding by challenging norms and conventions through decades of change, Invested also offers unique insights and lifelong principles for readers—the values that Schwab has lived and worked by that have made him one of the most successful entrepreneurs of our time. Today, his eponymous company is one of the leading financial services firms in the world. Advance praise for Invested “I’ve admired Chuck Schwab for a long time. When you read this book, you’ll understand why.”—Warren E. Buffett “This is a fascinating story that teaches you about the never-ending evolution of an entrepreneurial company, but even more about personal learning from that experience. So read, learn how to learn from experience, and enjoy.”—George P. Shultz, former secretary of Labor, Treasury, and State
