Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
It’s easy to see why an entire industry has sprung up around trying to decode the way Warren Buffett makes investment decisions:
Warren Buffett is quite simply the most successful investor in history, with an impressive track record of beating the odds.Warren Buffett is one of the richest men in the world, having made his entire fortune by investing in other people’s businesses.Warren Buffett himself is genuine and down-to-earth, often providing quotes that embody home-spun wisdom and common sense.The only problem with trying to crack the Warren Buffet code is that Buffett cannot easily be pigeon-holed into one category or another. At times, he certainly acts like a value investor but then again at other times he is much more of a growth investor. He eschews a buy-and-hold approach to investing but doesn’t hesitate to sell stocks when things go wrong. Buffett buys large-cap stocks for a period but then goes after small- and mid-cap stocks exclusively. He buys entire companies with strong managements in place but also invests in fixed-income securities. Buffett is perfectly happy to sit on huge capital reserves for an extended period of time but will then engage in some currencies, commodities and derivatives trading for a while. Warren Buffett’s approach to investing is not at all consistent enough to lead to a single set of principles he never strays from. Rather, he constantly refines and changes his strategy in response to the market conditions of the day.
In summary, don’t try and reduce what Warren Buffett does to a formula. It can’t be done. If investing were that simple, the financial world would be quite a different place. Instead, be willing to mold your strategies as market conditions warrant. Become a student of the markets, and then change and adapt to your surroundings. This is far more likely to position you as a successful investor than you’ll ever become by trying to decipher some kind of insider tricks Warren Buffett uses. The real world is much too complex for a formulaic approach to investing to work every time. Don’t try to look for order where none exists. And above all, replace the numerous Warren Buffett perceptions with fact-based realities. That alone should increase your chances of success.

Summary of Even Buffett Isn’t Perfect (Vahan Janjigian)
Section 1
Perception
Warren Buffett believes strongly in diversifying Berkshires’s investment portfolio.
Reality
Berkshire actually grew to be a sizable enterprise because it concentrated its investments in the right areas. It is only since it became sizable that it has had to diversify.
Diversification is a bedrock principle of investment strategy. Everyone knows it’s not smart to “put all your eggs in one basket” and the more varied your investment portfolio is, the better. The paradox, however, is that Warren Buffett has generally followed a strategy of portfolio concentration. Instead of reducing risk by investing in a basket of different categories, Buffett reduces risk by having an exceptional level of investment expertise and the personal capacity to analyze companies well.
