In the world of investing, the name Warren Buffett is synonymous with success and prosperity. Building from the ground up, Buffett chose wisely and picked his stocks with care, in turn amassing the huge fortune for which he is now famous. Mary Buffett, former daughter-in-law of this legendary financial genius and a successful businesswoman in her own right, has teamed up with noted Buffettologist David Clark to create Buffettology, a one-of-a-kind investment guide that explains the winning strategies of the master.
* Learn how to approach investing the way Buffett does, based on the authors' firsthand knowledge of the secrets that have made Buffett the world's second wealthiest man
* Use Buffett's proven method of investing in stocks that will continue to grow over time
* Master the straightforward mathematical equipments that assist Buffett in making investments
* Examine the kinds of companies that capture Buffett's interest, and learn how you can use this information to make your own investment choices of the future
Complete with profiles of fifty-four "Buffett companies" — companies in which Buffett has invested and which the authors believe he continues to follow — Buffettology can show any investor, from beginner to savvy pro, how to create a profitable portfolio.

In Buffettology, Mary Buffett, with the help of David Clark, details Warren Buffett's approach to investing. It's a style of investing based on the work of Benjamin Graham and one that requires a quality that most investors lack--discipline. Mary Buffett writes, ""As you read through this book you will come to see that having a business perspective on investing is more about discipline than philosophy.... In short, other people's follies, brought on by fear and greed, will offer you, the investor, the opportunity to take advantage of their mistakes and benefit from the discipline of committing capital to investment only when it makes sense from a business perspective.... You will find that almost everything that relates to business perspective investing is alien to Wall Street folklore.

Buffettology examines Buffett's methods for valuing companies and selecting stocks--it even encourages you to buy a calculator and work through the valuation formulas that Buffett uses when researching companies to buy. The book not only serves as a useful guide to understanding how Buffett invests, it's an excellent primer to investing in stocks, whether you plan to become a Buffettologist or not. Highly recommended. --Harry C. Edwards, Business editor

David Clark

David Clark is a world-renowned expert on the subject of Warren Buffett’s Investment philosophies (aka Buffettology). He holds university degrees in both finance and law and co-authored seven books with Mary Buffett on the subject of Warren Buffett's investment methods.  

Born and raised in Warren's hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, David grew up with Buffett's children and eventually fell under the influence of the Master investor. In the 70s he organized a group of Warren Buffett followers into the first group of Buffettologists dedicated to studying the secrets of Warren Buffett's investment methods.

David developed a friendship with Mary Buffett when she married Warren's son Peter. Mary and David discovered they had a similar enthusiasm for studying Warren's investment methods, which developed into a professional relationship between the two of them. Their alliance soon blossomed into a long-term collaboration project -- writing seven investment books on Warren Buffett's investment methods, including the international best seller, "The Tao of Warren Buffett."

He has been quoted on finance in the New York Times, and is well acquainted with several investors in Warren Buffett’s original partnership (all of whom are now worth in excess of $100 million).

David believes that China presently holds some of the world's greatest investment opportunities and is thrilled at its long-term prospects for superior capital growth. Mr. Clark still resides in Omaha, Nebraska and is the Managing Director of an investment partnership made up of several of the original Buffettologists. David is also an attorney and lecturer around the world on the subject of Buffettology.
