More About This Book

Overview

The Warren Buffetts Next Door

How 10 ordinary people consistently achieve extraordinary returnson their investments (and how you can, too).

There are the famous investors whose names you know—Buffett, Bogle, Soros, Lynch, and Templeton. And then there are the Warren Buffetts next door, those successful investors you've never heard of—Rees, Krebs, Koza, Petainen, and Weyland. The Warren Buffetts Next Door describes how these "regular" people—tractor-trailer drivers, radio DJs, and college dropouts—utilize an armament of online information, tools, and resources to routinely outperform professional brokers and Wall Street's Ivy League–educated investors.

"Matt Schifrin has written one of the most unusual—and useful—investment books you will ever find. Instead of trotting out some supposedly surefire formula on how to get rich, Matt has chronicled the successes of ten individuals you have never heard of."
—From The Foreword By Steve Forbes

"Matt Schifrin's inspiring, easy reading, and eye-opening The Warren Buffetts Next Door shows that exceptional investors come from the wide ranks of normal life—just with intelligence, drive, focus, and commitment. They aren't Wall Street trained and operate solely for themselves in wildly different ways and could be you—if you just learn what they have to teach—which Matt gives you."
—Ken Fisher, 25-year Forbes columnist, New York Times bestselling author, and founder and CEO, Fisher Investments

"Matt Schifrin's Warren Buffetts Next Door is living proof that the Internet has become a game-changer for many individual investors. It also should send a loud warning to established Wall Street firms."
—Om Malik, founder, GigaOM

"I like the stories, I like the people, and I like the 'how to,' which cover many facets of the investment horizon. The Warren Buffetts Next Door is a successful interplay of how individuals have combined a passion for investing into profitable investing."
—Mario Gabelli, founder, Chairman, and CEO, GAMCO Investors

"A first-class reporter, Matt Schifrin has cracked the code on a small group of do-it-yourself investors taking direct aim at Wall Street's biggest brokers. Their unique styles may not be replicable, but the zeal with which they pursue their passions is."
—Daniel P. Wiener, Editor, The Independent Adviser for Vanguard Investors

    Can't put it down

    I'm really enjoying this book. I'm almost finished it, but I just got it a couple of days ago. While I know the results aren't typical, its good to see that average joe's can work hard and teach themselves how to handle their own money. Inspirational.
