Superinvestors

LESSONS FROM THE WORLD’S GREATEST INVESTORS George Soros, Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Eugene Kleiner, Tom Perkins, Paul Samuelson, John Templeton and others There has never been a better time to be an ordinary investor. With more opportunities, lower costs and a more level playing field than ever before, you really can go head to head with the professionals. But there remains one big difference between Wall Street and the individual investor: technique and experience. Superinvestors provides both in a new way. It takes an in-depth look at 20 of the best investors in the last 200 years and shows the reader how to adopt a similar approach. These investors have been picked for a variety of criteria, including their investing excellence, the different ways in which they made money and, above all, for what they can teach individual investors. Ranging from David Ricardo, who made a fortune by correctly predicting the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo, to the patient, value-orientated approach of Warren Buffett, this book a treasure trove of success stories, cautionary tales, legendary stock picks and world-beating strategies. It will fascinate and inspire investors of every level. Matthew Partridge is an experienced financial journalist and trained historian.
