Becoming Rich: The Wealth-Building Secrets of the World's Master Investors Buffett, Icahn, Soros

Warren Buffett, Carl Icahn, and George Soros all started with nothing---and made billion-dollar fortunes solely by investing. But their investment strategies are so widely divergent, what could they possibly have in common?

As Mark Tier demonstrates in this insightful book, the secrets that made Buffet, Icahn, and Soros the world's three richest investors are the same mental habits and strategies they all practice religiously. However, these are mental habits and strategies that fly in the face of Wall Street's conventional mindset. For example:

-Buffett, Icahn, and Soros do not diversify. When they buy, they buy as much as they can.

-They're not focused on the profits they expect to make. Going in, they're not investing for the money at all.

-They don't believe that big profits involve big risks. In fact, they're far more focused on not losing money than making it.

-Wall Street research reports? They never read them. They're not interested in what other people think. Indeed, Buffett says he only reads analyst reports when he needs a laugh.

In Becoming Rich you can discover how the mental habits that guided your last investment decision stack up against those of Buffett, Icahn, and Soros. Then learn exactly how you can apply the wealth-building secrets of the world's richest investors to transform your own investment results.

One of the Best Books on Investing and Trading

I don't agree with absolutely everything that Mark Tier writes in this book - but the points I disagree on at least get me to think. I think there are more differences between Soros and Buffett than Tier would like. Some of the rules are relatively but not absolutely true - for example the don't...

Worthwhile reading

I found this book very interesting and would say it lived up to its billing. I specifically bought it to read about Carl Icahn but found the other investors interesting as well. It's always a good idea to learn from the best and these guys are some of the best, give it a try.

Becoming Rich: The Wealth-Building Secrets of The World's Master Investors Buffett, Icahn, Soros

I write financial newsletters for a living. I'm constantly being asked by my publisher's book subisidary to submit ideas for an investment title. I've bought every investment book with the name Buffett in the title. I've read most of them, although I've finished few of them. The best ones are...

Worthless

This book is completely worthless. The strategies within this text constantly contradict themselves. For example don't take risks - focus on keeping what you have rather than building on what you've got. Then it goes on to say, risk; however, is in the eye of the beholder. One of the...

Another winning title from Mark Tier

In 1969, as a youthful 23 year old I invested in Australian mineral stocks which were then running hot. Poseidon was the leader and others were in hot pursuit. 6 weeks later the market came crashing down and I virtualy lost my entire investment. For the next 36 years I never bought another stock....

23 of the 978 steps to financial freedom

I have read over 50 books on the market, and this one brings together some of the best ideas in one book. I found it to be well written, and was impressed with the notes and references. Mark gives credit where credit is due. I could argue that there are actually 1001 steps to financial...
