The last few weeks of events and happenings in the business world has raised many eye-brows and caused for grave concern from many.  Just as the world reeled from the world of chaos from terrorism, natural disasters,  the recent few weeks event is liken to an upheaval of economic unrest of untold proportions.   Countries from the US, to the European and Asian  have all reacted adversely to whatever that is happening to the  world of business and economics. 

As of now,  the US government House of Congress has just approved  and President George Bush signed an approved US$700 billion bank bailout plan to tackle a crisis spared by a collapse in the housing market and resulting bad mortgages, to avoid a domino effect to the world at large, with untold economic disaster.

 

At the same time, European leaders are also gearing up to come up with concerted efforts to shore up confidence in the worst financial crisis since the 1930s.  This is  after the UK government and European government coming out, unseen before to pump in funds to rescue few previously so-called biggest and well-run world-class corporations.
Despite such crisis,  there are however few astute and with good foresight businessmen, have found such situation to be yet another window of opportunity,  to buy up good assets at rock bottom prices.  Warren Buffett, an investor, businessman and philanthropist is one such prominent billionaire that needs no introduction, already being the richest man in the world, has now again done it, riding on yet another wave of opportunity.

 

 

Find out more  how Warren Buffett has done it again,  what his thoughts and  thinking of the situation.  Already he has come to the rescue of the Goldman  Sach’s  recent crisis.  Get a feel of  Buffett’s reading and prediction of the world .  Monday marked the release of The Snowball, the first and only,  Buffett’s biography written by Alice Schroeder, a former analyst who spent “literally thousands” of hours with Buffett and his family.

 

Although the media track him constantly, Buffett himself has never told his full life story. His reality is private, especially by celebrity standards. Indeed, while the homespun persona that the public sees is true as far as it goes, it goes only so far. Warren Buffett is an array of paradoxes. He set out to prove that nice guys can finish first. Over the years he treated his investors as partners, acted as their steward, and championed honesty as an investor, CEO, board member, essayist, and speaker. At the same time he became the world-s richest man, all from the modest Omaha headquarters of his company Berkshire Hathaway. None of this fits the term -simple.-

 

Never before has Buffett spent countless hours responding to a writer-s questions, talking, giving complete access to his wife, children, friends, and business associates-opening his files, recalling his childhood. It was an act of courage, as The Snowball makes immensely clear. Being human, his own life, like most lives, has been a mix of strengths and frailties. Yet notable though his wealth may be, Buffett-s legacy will not be his ranking on the scorecard of wealth; it will be his principles and ideas that have enriched people-s lives. This book tells you why Warren Buffett is the most fascinating American success story of our time.
