    Description of Trade Like Warren Buffett

    A detailed look at the entire array of trading strategies and techniques used by Warren Buffett Trade Like Warren Buffett challenges the current coverage of this great investor by including details of all of Buffett's investing and trading methods, including demographics, mean reversion, arbitrage, market timing, as well as Graham and Dodd. In addition to the value investing approach, this book discusses other, lesser-known trading strategies and techniques that have helped to make Buffett the greatest investor in history. To augment the discussion of each strategy, Trade Like Warren Buffett includes interviews with leading professionals who reveal in detail how they successfully use the same techniques as Buffett. James Altucher (New York, NY) is a partner at Subway Capital, a hedge fund focused on special arbitrage situations, deep value, and short-term statistically based strategies. Previously, he was a partner with technology venture capital firm 212 Ventures and was CEO and founder of Vaultus, a wireless and software company. Altucher is also the author of Trade Like a Hedge Fund (0-471-48485-7).

    Reviews

    "Trading is notoriously tough. But Altucher's new book adds a noteworthy addition to the library on Warren Buffett. He shows a lot of Buffett that isn't readily available in the existing common literature. Definitely required reading for any serious Buffett buff."
    - Kenneth L. Fisher, Forbes' "Portfolio Strategy" Columnist Founder and CEO, Fisher Investments

    "Finally, someone blows apart the myth that Warren Buffett is a buy-and-hold investor. Altucher has given us an insightful and well-written commentary on how Buffett has amassed his track record, and what we can do to emulate him. He details the trade-by-trade examples. This is a must read for anyone wanting to learn about how the Master Investor works."
    - John Mauldin, author, Bull's Eye Investing editor of Thoughts from the Frontline (www.2000wave.com)
