Episode 174 - Think, Act, & Invest Like Warren Buffett with Larry Swedroe

Who wouldn’t want to invest like Warren Buffett? He’s one of the most successful investors in the world, and yet, most people don’t follow his recommendations about where they should be putting their money. In this edition of The Lange Money Hour, we welcome nationally recognized investment expert Larry Swedroe, the author of the book Think, Act and Invest Like Warren Buffett: The Winning Strategy to Help You Achieve Your Financial and Life Goals. Like Warren Buffett, Larry believes that passive investing through index funds is the best path to prosperity, and he’s done the research to back it up. Larry is director of research for Buckingham Asset Management. Including the Warren Buffett book we’ll be talking about Larry's other books, including his latest, The Incredible Shrinking Alpha, and he’s working on book number 15 as well, called Your Complete Guide to Factor-based Investing. In this podcast you’ll learn a great deal about passive and active investing and how to get into that Warren Buffett mind-set.
