In correspondence and discussion with him over 2 years, they both saw the writing on the wall, made clear by the implosion of Bear Stearns. Tavakoli, in clear and engaging prose, explains how the credit mess happened beginning with the mortgage lending Ponzi schemes funded by investment banks, the Fed bailout and its impact on the dollar. Through her narrative, we hear from Warren Buffett and learn how his enduring principles caused him to see the mess that was coming well in advance and kept him and his investors well out of the way.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments xv\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: An Unanswered Invitation 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Lunch with Warren 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: The Prairie Princes versus the Princes of Darkness 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: The Insatiable Curiosity to Know Nothing Worth Knowing (Oscar Wilde Was Right) 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: MAD Mortgages—The “Great” Against the Powerless 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Shell Games (Beware of Geeks Bearing Grifts) 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Financial Astrology—AAA Falling Stars 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Bear Market (I’d Like a Review of the Bidding) 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Dead Man’s Curve 143\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Bazooka Hank and Dread Reckoning (AIG, Fannie, Freddie, Lehman, Merrill, and Other Fluid Situations) 163\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Bond Insurance Burns Main Street 179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Money, Money, Money (Warren and Washington) 191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13: The Fogs of War, Religion, and Politics 209\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Finding Value 219\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNotes 225\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBibliography 259\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex 267\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Finance \u0026amp; accounting [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Finance \u0026amp; accounting\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Finance%20\u0026amp;%20accounting%20%5BKF%5D%22\"\u003eKF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52509175775512,"sku":"9780470632420","price":12.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470632420.jpg?v=1786495994","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/dear-mr-buffett-what-an-investor-learns-1-269-miles-from-wall-street-paperback-softback-9780470632420","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
