Warren Buffett Letter Summaries
Hi everyone, I recently began reading the Buffett letters upon recommendation from a friend. They provide, with competition only from Intelligent Investor , the most clear, humorous, and useful investing advice I've ever seen. There is a reason they are classic.

Though I'm afraid they'll find it's too little, too late, someone is finally taking Dick Fuld to task for cratering Lehman Brothers and helping himself to hundreds of millions in compensation while he ran the company into the ground.
