    Warren Buffett, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, is widely considered the most successful investor of the twentieth century.

With the written blessing of Buffett himself, Bloch has selected the best of Buffett, wisdom that will guide you to becoming the most disciplined and rational long-term investor you can be.

      My Warren Buffett Bible - Robert L. Bloch

      Over a decade ago, I had the good fortune to meet Warren Buffett when he became a major shareholder in H&R Block, the tax preparation company my father, Henry Bloch, co-founded in 1955.

      Warren and my father have much in common. Both entrepreneurs were born before World War II in the Mid-West and came from middle class families. They are extremely down to earth and have loads of good common sense and honesty. Without a doubt, both enjoy the process more than the proceeds of business and investing.

      Buffett’s investment principles are simple, old, and few. Much like my father, most of Warren’s success is due to his personality, character, and willingness to learn from and teach others. Of his many outstanding qualities, the role as teacher is the one for which, Warren states, he would most like to be remembered.

      Recently I have made Warren my teacher and mentor by reading and re-reading his quotes until they have become a part of me. As the Oracle of Omaha said, It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction. As investors, we should all strive to drift toward Warren’s direction.

      There have been dozens of books published that have attempted to capture the philosophy and personality of Warren Buffett; but words cannot really describe this amazing man . . . except maybe his own words. Buffett does Buffett better than anyone. Since Warren has never written an autobiography, the quotes in this book are the most direct and unfiltered source we have.

      After experiencing several bear markets over his lifetime, Warren has learned to stay the course and stick to his investing principles, when other investors were selling or rethinking their strategies. Therefore a proven discipline is an essential element in becoming a successful investor. This book has helped me become a more disciplined investor.

      I am confident it will not only help you become more disciplined but also a more RATIONAL, OPTIMISTIC, and LONG-TERM investor. The ultimate act of generosity is Warren Buffett sharing his genius with the individual investor!

      —Robert L. Bloch

      Note: I am honored that Warren Buffett has given me written permission to use his inspiring words in this volume.

      Opportunities abound in America.

      In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.

      American business will do just fine over time. And stocks will do well just as certainly, since their fate is tied to business performance. Periodic setbacks will occur, yes, but investors and managers are in a game heavily stacked in their favor. (The Dow Jones Industrials advanced from 66 to 11,497 in the twentieth century, a staggering 17,320% increase that materialized despite four costly wars, a Great Depression, and many recessions. And don’t forget that shareholders received substantial dividends throughout the century as well.)

      Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing.

      Since the basic game is so favorable, Charlie* and I believe it’s a terrible mistake to try to dance in and out of it based upon the turn of
