Aug 18, 2009 at 12:00AM What better way is there to learn something than from an expert in the field? And when it comes to investing, what better investor is there to learn from than Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE:BRK-B) Warren Buffett?
But of course, you may be wondering: How did he get so good in the first place? Of mentors and men Most people -- OK, most investing geeks -- know that Buffett was an ardent devotee of deep value investor Benjamin Graham, who taught him to look for dollar bills selling for $0.50. (Here are some of today's.) Buffett's investing later evolved through his association with Charlie Munger, and now he prefers a great company at a good price over a good company at a great price.
