The Money Masters
and
The New Money Masters,
by John Train. There are two ways to acquire the most
important investment skills—through your own experience or through the
experiences and insights of others. While both kinds of experience are
important, the first kind, if relied upon almost exclusively, can prove
to be quite time-consuming and distressingly costly to acquire. Indeed,
in today’s complex investment world, I would suggest that it is
virtually impossible to develop winning investment methods without some
review of the strategies and tactics developed and employed by master
investors. In these two books, published in 1980 and 1989 (along with
Money Masters of Our Time in 2000), Train provides the reader
with a series of capsule descriptions of a number of very successful
investors. He compares these accomplished investors and seeks to draw
conclusions concerning the common qualities that led to their
successes. The list of masters is impressive—including Warren Buffett,
Paul Cabot, Philip Fisher, Benjamin Graham, T. Rowe Price, John
Templeton, Peter Lynch, Phil Carret, John Neff, Ralph Wagner and other
premier investors. |
