success in most of his business operations can be traced to his upbringing, training and
experience acquired in his early life. His exemplary marketing skills and knowledge of the stock
exchange transactions have impacted positively to the growth of his business empire that

To conclude, for one to be successful the major character or skill that comes out clearly in
Warren Buffet Life is his ability to make decisions when to invest especially in the stock market
where the fluctuations in stock prices can mean the difference between making profits or losses.
