Product description

From the inside flap.

A gold mine of investing advice from the most successful investor in history

When Warren Buffett speaks, people around the world listen. And with good reason: Buffett, or "The Sage of Omaha" as he is popularly known, is arguably, the most successful investor in history. How successful? In addition to being one of the wealthiest people in the world, with a personal fortune currently estimated at US$60 billion, he was named the "Top Money Manager of the Twentieth Century" by the prestigious Carson Group, and he was listed among Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the world.

Through three successive editions, The Essays of Warren Buffett has maintained its stature as the definitive guide to Buffett's investment philosophy, and this Fourth Edition of that international bestseller is no exception. Fully revised and updated to include Buffett's views on recent events, both within the financial arena and beyond, this edition, like its predecessors, features commentaries by internationally recognized Warren Buffett expert, Lawrence Cunningham. As reviewers—including Warren Buffett himself—have noted, Professor Cunningham's commentaries are a priceless source of insight and sound advice for all serious investors.

" The book on Buffett. A superb job." — Forbes

"Extraordinary." — Money

"A classic on value investing and the definitive source on Buffett." — Financial Times

One of "the smartest books we know." — Fortune

Map: 4.8-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes New Jersey

By William B. Davis ,  Madison Dong ,  Judson Jones ,  John Keefe ,  Bea Malsky and Lazaro Gamio

Shake intensity

A light, 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck in New Jersey on Friday, according to the United States Geological Survey. The quake was felt across the New York City metropolitan area, and from Philadelphia to Boston.

The temblor happened at 10:23 a.m. Eastern about 4 miles north of Whitehouse Station, N.J., data from the agency shows.

As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake's reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.

Aftershocks in the region

At 5:59 p.m. Eastern on Friday, a light aftershock with a magnitude of 3.8 struck near Gladstone, New Jersey, according to U.S.G.S. (The agency initially gave the quake a preliminary magnitude of 4.0.)

An aftershock is usually a smaller earthquake that follows a larger one in the same general area. Aftershocks are typically minor adjustments along the portion of a fault that slipped at the time of the initial earthquake.

Quakes and aftershocks within 100 miles

Aftershocks can occur days, weeks or even years after the first earthquake. These events can be of equal or larger magnitude to the initial earthquake, and they can continue to affect already damaged locations.

How this quake compares

The U.S.G.S. has logged 188 earthquakes with a magnitude of 2.5 or greater within a 250-mile radius of New York City since 1957. In that timeframe, only seven have had a magnitude at or above 4.5. Today’s quake had the third-highest magnitude in the available data.

Magnitude 4.8

By Lazaro Gamio

Source: United States Geological Survey | Notes: Shaking categories are based on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale. When aftershock data is available, the corresponding maps and charts include earthquakes within 100 miles and seven days of the initial quake. All times above are Eastern. Shake data is as of Friday, April 5 at 10:44 a.m. Eastern. Aftershocks data is as of Sunday, April 7 at 8:07 p.m. Eastern.
