It shows readers how to learn from the master?s best moves while avoiding strategies that don?t apply to small investors -- and avoiding Buffett?s mistakes, such as sometimes riding his winners too long.

Unlike Enron, the Texas-based energy giant that has come to represent the post-millennium collapse of 1990s go-go corporate culture, it’s also ultimately successful.
