been written about Warren Buffett and his investment philosophy;
little has been made public about the inside management of
Berkshire Hathaway. With a market cap exceeding 100 billion
, Berkshire Hathaway has a market value surpassing many icons
of American business such as Dell, AT&T, Disney, Ford,
Gillette, American Express, and GM. ...read

Robert Miles is a successful entrepreneur, business owner, and investor who believes that everyone can be a smarter investor regardless of background, education, and income. In fact Miles says that one investment is ideal for virtually everyone to own--Berkshire-Hathaway. Miles has attended the annual shareholders meeting for years, has met Warren Buffett, and is considered a company "insider" and Berkshire-Hathaway expert. In 101 Reasons to Own the World's Greatest Investment, Miles offers his insights into what makes Berkshire-Hathaway so
profitable and why shareholders get such value for owning
the stock. Among his explanations: Berkshire-Hathaway is run
sensibly and frugally by Buffett--there are no lavish corporate
head-quarters or extravagant spending by company executives.
The company invests in companies it determines will produce
steady profits for the shareholders rather than those companies
with a history of erratic performance. This accessible, well-researched
look at the leading company's investment strategy has received
an "unofficial" endorsement by Buffett himself.
Robert P. Miles (Tampa, FL) is an entrepreneur and owns a small
business. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan Business
School, has been an active shareholder of Berkshire-Hathaway
for a number of years, and is frequently asked to speak to
other investor groups about Buffett.
