Harness the Investment Genius of Warren Buffett & George Soros
Discover the Mental Habits and Strategies that made them the World’s Richest Investors
Warren Buffett and George Soros both started with nothing — and made billion-dollar fortunes solely by investing.
But their investment strategies are so different how could they have anything in common?
As Mark Tier demonstrates in The Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett & George Soros, the secrets that made Buffett and Soros the world’s richest investors are the mental habits and strategies that they all practice religiously. Mental habits and strategies that fly in the face of the conventional Wall Street “wisdom.” For example:
➤ Buffett and Soros don’t diversify. When they buy they always “buy as much as they can.”
➤ They’ll both tell you that making predictions about the market or economy has virtually nothing to do with their success.
➤ They’re not focused on the profits they expect to make. Indeed, their primary motivation is not the money at all.
➤ They don’t believe that to make big profits you must take big risks. Indeed, they are far more focused on not losing money than on making it.
➤ Their beliefs about what makes markets tick are amazingly similar — and diametrically opposed to academic theories like the “Efficient Market Hypothesis” and the “Random Walk” which they both view with contempt.
➤ And all those research reports that Wall Street churns out — they never read them. They don’t give a hoot what other people think. (In fact, Warren Buffett says he only ever reads them when he’s looking for a laugh.)

What they’re saying about The Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett & George Soros
“EXCELLENT!”
— Richard Russell, editor, Dow Theory Letters
“The world is full of get-rich-quick schemes, but this definitely isn’t one of them.”
“Instead, Tier teaches readers to invest smartly by delving into the skills, philosophies and investment strategies of some of the world’s richest self-made men — Warren Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.), Carl Icahn (Ichan & Co.) and George Soros (Quantum Fund) among them.”
— Publishers Weekly
“Based on a stunningly simple idea…”
“This book is based on a stunningly simple, but highly intelligent and effective idea: Analyze the methods of Buffett and Soros – probably the two most successful investors of our time — and see exactly why they’re so successful. Everybody talks about these guys, but it’s rare to find a good, thorough analysis of why they’ve done so well. Tier’s approach is especially valuable because Soros’s and Buffett’s methods are often so different — yet, as Tier shows, the keys to their success are amazingly similar. Great book —something I rarely say about this genre.”
— Doug Casey, editor, International Speculator
“Exciting investment book”
“One of the most exciting investment books to come down the pike in a while.”
— Laissez Faire Books Review
“Gets to the essential reasons for the successes of Soros and Buffett better
than any other book”
“Tier’s book is a great read, and I recommend it. It gets to the essential reasons for the investment successes of Soros and Buffett better than any other book I have read. More important, it can get you to thinking about how you can apply their lessons and reasons to your own investment approach, even if you have a modest amount of money.”
— Chris Weber, editor, The Weber Global Opportunities Report
“Stands out from the normal run of How-To-Get-Rich books”
—Jake van der Kamp, Asian Review of Books, Hong Kong
“What do Buffett and Soros have in common?”
What do Warren Buffett and George Soros have in common besides their self-made investment fortunes? Well, neither takes big risks or diversifies…. Instead, both are cautious investors who have learned how to protect their capital. Oh, and neither follows analyst reports—ever.
— U.S. News & World Report
“Revelation”
“Neither Buffett nor Soros tries to pick the market. Nor do they diversify. They specialize, something advisers tell you not to do. They are also more focused on not losing money than making it. But the real revelation in The Winning Investment Habits Of Warren Buffett & George Soros is they spend far more time analyzing their mistakes than their successes. Soros once said recognizing his mistakes was the secret of his success.”
— Sun-Herald, Sydney
“Smorgasbord of investing wisdom“
“If you have even a small taste for profit, you might consider filling your plate from Tier’s smorgasbord of investing wisdom and indulging until your mind — and wallet — are full.”

“One of the most readable and informative investment books for a long time.”

— Vance Marcollo, Australia
“Tremendously useful”

— Greg Barnes, Auckland, New Zealand
“Showed my weak points”
“Loved your book on Buffett and Soros. It’s very well written, the ideas follow in a logical order, and my interest was held throughout the whole book. It jelled very well with me and showed me some of my weak points.”
— Gary Hannan, Sydney, Australia
“Improved my business”
“It’s really a pleasure to read, even for a non-native English speaker…. An unexpected effect is that I transposed some of the beliefs and habits to my business and made some dramatic — and profitable! — improvements.”
— Laurent Gounelle, Paris, France
“Clearly describes the habits you need to profit…”
“By far the best book written on the subject of investment habits. It clearly describes and explains the habits one would need to profit from the stock market. I would recommend this book to anyone who does not understands the phrase ‘Bulls make money, Bears make money, but Pigs get slaughtered!’”
— Reader’s review on yesasia.com

— David Gordon, author, Expanding Your World: Modeling the Structure of Experience

— Dan Greenberg, Framingham, Massachusetts

“A great book, extremely well researched, and a very easy read. Definitely worth a read for anyone who cares about their financial future.”
– Terry Harcott, Vancouver, Canada.
“The common ‘threads between three investing legends”
“Mark Tier has taken it upon himself to extract the common threads between three investing legends — one speculator [Soros], one activist [Icahn] and the greatest value investor ever [Buffett]. You may be surprised at how many traits they share — both personally and professionally. I especially enjoyed learning about these investors in their own words.”
— Whitney Tilson, T2 Partners, New York.
“Greatly exceeds my expectations”
“I am something of a fan of investment books and am usually happy to be able to take at least one investment idea away from any book I buy. I have to say that your book was a surprise. Not only did it greatly exceed my expectations but it was a level or two above, not in difficulty but in its global applicability to the field of investment. Your book will feature in my top five, at least until your next one comes out.”
— Jeff Wicks, Hong Kong
“Excellent book”
“Tier has written an excellent book. His chapter on exit strategies alone (knowing when to sell even before you buy) is worth the price of the book.”
— Dr. Mark Skousen, editor, Forecasts & Strategies.
