2. Warren Buffett Invests Like a Girl And Why You Should, Too By Louann Lofton
Warren Buffett Invests like a Girl offers a new perspective to Warren buffets investment success. Women and Warren Buffett have something in common: They are both better investors than the average man. Women are thorough researchers, more committed to the long-term plan and better at managing their emotions, say LouAnn Lofton, author of Warren Buffett Invests like a Girl: and Why You Should Too. The first step in investing is to recognize that investing is not that hard and great success can come from investing in companies you understand. Look at the products you know and trust the ones you use and tell friends about. These can be great investment opportunities. And if you want to learn directly from Mr. Buffett, Ms. Lofton suggests reading his letters to shareholders. Though geared toward women, Ms. Lofton's book can benefit men as well if they are willing to tap into their feminine side. A debut author impugns Warren Buffett's masculinity in a good way and asserts that feminine thinking like his is what leads to investment riches.
