What Warren Buffett Thinks 2005
Author:Jonathan Davis;

Each year hundreds of professional investors descend on Omaha, Warren Buffett's home town, to attend Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting. For six to seven hours, Buffett and his longstanding business partner Charlie Munger sit and answer a broad range of questions about investment. Topics range from their own investment performance, their thoughts on the current state of Wall Street and the secrets of what it takes to be a succesful stock market investor.

This special report, researched and edited by Jonathan Davis, one of the leading UK experts on Buffett, allows you to share directly in this unique event in the investment calendar. This year’s annual meeting is to be held on Saturday April 30th, followed by a press conference the next day. The meetings provide a rare opportunity to tap into the thought processes of the world’s most famous stock market investor. This report - more detailed and authoritative than conventional press coverage - is a must read for any serious investor.
