Business

Warren Buffett remains one of the most sought-after and watched figures in business today. He has become a billionaire and investment sage by buying chunks of companies and holding onto them, managing them as businesses, and eventually reaping huge profits for himself and investors in Berkshire Hathaway. The three editions of The Warren Buffett Way gave investors their first in-depth look at the innovative investment and business strategies behind the spectacular success of living legend Warren E. Buffett. Tracing Warren Buffett's career from the beginning, Hagstrom told readers exactly how, starting with an initial investment of only $100 Buffett built a business empire and has an estimated net worth of $44 billion, and focused on the timeless principles and strategies behind Buffett's extraordinary investment success. 

The Classic will revert to and focus on the original Warren Buffett teachings, be 100% Warren Buffet. What academic work that supports Buffet's teaching will be footnoted but not be in the text. So no add-ons to Buffet teachings. Hagstrom will add in the 2013-2021 portfolios (for which he will use his Appendix in WBW 3rd edition). He will include new tables from WB Portfolio from the Superinvestors chapter.  He will write a new Author Preface to mark the 30th anniversary of the first edition publication, but he believes the Forewords of Peter Lynch, Bill Miller, and Howard Marks should stay -- they cannot be topped by anyone else.
