Buffett's Book Pick Guides Fuss to Marks Beating Market
Warren Buffett, in his annual letter to shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK/A) last week, said the best investment he ever made was buying a copy of "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham.

The billionaire isn't the only prominent investor who considers the 1949 book money well spent. Daniel Fuss of Loomis Sayles & Co., Oaktree Capital Group LLC's Howard Marks and David Herro of Harris Associates LP credit the text with shaping their thinking about how markets work and what it takes to succeed.

    @Kenster1_GlobalGrowth: I hate to tell you this, but every great investor, myself included, have read the "The Intelligent Investor". Its required reading in most MBA programs

    Why do you hate to tell me this?
    It's just an article. What's your point?

    Oh and you're calling yourself a "great investor?" LOL.

    Why would I mention Marty Whitman? I just mentioned a few key names mentioned in the article including Dan Fuss, Howard Marks, David Herro, Yacktman.
