I'm fairly certain I'm not the only fan of Warren Buffett around here. :) While I was writing my book about his investing blunders (the better to study him with!), I stumbled on this beautiful, beautiful website: Buffett FAQ: a compendium of Q&As with Warren Buffett (http://www.buffettfaq.com/).
Buffett likes having Q&A sessions with college students and with Berkshire-Hathaway investors who travel to Omaha for the annual shareholder meeting. (Aka "Woodstock for capitalists" - you should go, it's fun!) Recording devices are prohibited, but a lot of people take very thorough notes. Buffett FAQ (http://www.buffettfaq.com/) is a compendium of all the notes people have taken over the years, in the original Q&A format.
Right now, there are 436 questions and answers about life, the universe and everything. It's mostly about money, investing, efficient valuation techniques, etc, though. ;) Altogether, it's a giant collection of concentrated wisdom from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger (his right-hand man and investing partner over the past 50-ish years). I have a copy of that page saved on my tablet, so I can pick a random question and read all about it whenever I'm waiting for something or am in between books. :)
And before anybody asks - no, I have absolutely no affiliation with that site, I don't know who owns it and I'm not benefiting in any way whatsoever from posting this here. I just want to share the word with all the other Mustachians and spread Buffett's ideas even further.
Happy reading!

FWIW, I transferred it to my Kindle, but wanted to share a quick step I took to improve it.
Right click and download the website.
Then open the .html file in any word processor (Wordpad being preferrable, IMO, cause Word might muck it up).
Do a find/replace for:
<a rel="self" href="http://www.buffettfaq.com/#
and replace with:
<a rel="self" href="#
Basically when you download, it changes all the relative links such that clicking a link tries to open the website, instead of jumping to that part in the page. Once you change it back, following the above steps, tapping a link in the ebook will jump straight there.
Then just drag it into the Calibre main window, and click convert (to .mobi for Kindle, .epub for any other ebook reader).

I wish I wasn't so technologically challenged :)
Anybody care to share the pdf or tech kindle file?
Thanks!

I don't know what any of that means ARS. Far too advanced for a luddite :)
I just did a Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, Ctrl V into Word. Seemed to work ok.
Thanks for the link Grigory, read through it all last month. Lots of good advice - but some of it is so obvious you just wonder why you never came up with it yourself!

I am an idiot.
I opened the file yesterday via phone and saw just the links, I thought each link opened a new page.
I just pasted all into a word document and printed it to pdf, worked for me.
Thanks to much to the OP
