Description: “The Four Filters Invention of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger” examines each of the basic steps they perform in “framing and making” an investment decision. This book is a focused look into this amazing invention within “Behavioral Finance.” The genius of Buffett and Munger’s parsimonious four filters process was to “capture all the important stakeholders” in a “multi-variable” equation or formula. Imagine…Products, Enduring Customers, Managers, and Margin-of-Safety… all in one mixed “qual + quant” formula. Other important ideas are embedded in each chapter. The book can be used as a supplemental textbook in a Valuation or Decision Sciences course.

Tariq Ali has written a concise, useful analysis of the ten investing maxims of Sir John Templeton on his blog “Street Capitalist” titled “Learning From Sir John Templeton”.

That analysis can be found here http://streetcapitalist.com/2008/07/09/learning-from-sir-john-templeton/

I highly recommend it as a complimentary perspective to add to the mental map of what constitutes a successful value investor.
