This man made a lot of money, but he writes very lucidly without loads of financial goobbledy-gook........ and explains fairly complex issues in simple to understand English.

I enjoyed reading his report to his shareholders dated 27th February 2009 - not all 'doom and gloom' but sensible, positive stuff in these hard financial times!

Here's the link if anybody is interested in the second oldest profession - making money! laugh

OK, my computer didn't like this link...froze things up a bit. Normally not my cup of tea, but if finances can be explained in a simple way, I might find it interesting. I'll try again later when half of CS isn't trying to load it. laugh

I've never heard or seen the guy, but I found what he had to write very interesting and can't help but admire his clear thinking and his opinions on what makes a good business.

There were even a few relevant facts that affect me - and they have helped me clarify my strategy for the future..........in these times it is hard to make a plan work, but not having a plan at all is worse!

All I know as a small investor, I'm keeping my stocks. making the best use of all of my property (gardens, poultry, etc) and keeping and USING anything I have that is of real worth.

Every effort has it's ups and downs, but it's the effort that makes us what we are.

Good luck.... and at least you've got fresh eggs of your own to eat when it gets so bad for the rest of us that we'll need a wheelbarrow of worthless notes to buy a loaf of bread!
