　　The Master of Investment―Warren Buffett

　　1 For someone who is such an extraordinarily successful investor.Warren Buffett comes off as a pretty ordinary guy.

　　2 From the beginning，Buffett made his fortune from investing.He started with all the money he had made from selling pop，delivering papers，and operating pinball machines.Between l950 and 1956，he grew his $9,800 kitty to $140,000.From there，he organized investment partnerships with his family and friends，and then gradually drew in other investors through word of mouth and very attractive terms.

　　3 Buffett’s goal was to top the Dow Jones Industrial Average by an average of l0%a year.Over the length of the Buffett partnership between 1957 and l969.Buffett’s investments grew at a compound annual rate of 29.5%，crushing the Dow’s return of 7。4%over the same period.

　　4 Buffett’s investment strategy mirrors his lifestyle and overall philosophy.He doesn’t collect houses or cars or works of art，and he disdains companies that waste money on such extravagances as limousines，private dining rooms，and high-price real estate.He is a creature of habit--same house，same office，same city，same soda and dislikes change.In his investments，that means holding on to “core holdings” such as American Express，Coca Cola，and the Washington Post C0.“forever”.

　　5 Buffett’s view of inherited money also departs from the norm.With his own three kids，he gave them each $10,000 a year―the tax―deductible limit at Christmas.When he gave them a loan，they had to sign a written agreement.

　　6 One thing’s for sure about Buffett：he’s happy doing what he’s doing.“I get to do what I like to do every single day of the year，”he says.“I get to do it with people I like，and I don’t have to associate with anybody who causes my stomach to churn.I tap dance to work，and when I get there I think I’m supposed to lie on my back and paint the ceiling.It is tremendous fun."It's fun to watch the master at work，too.
