    Rather harrowing stuff.

      Warren Buffet's Management Secrets, by Mary Buffet and David Clark.

      Not just for the investor, there's a chapter on identifying good companies to work for. High gross profit margin and consistent earnings per share = more opportunities for those working there. I don't see this as being restricted to employees, as contractors working at such companies can get to play with nice shiny new kit and interesting projects too.

      It's plain that he doesn't think much of the short term management culture (max profit this quarter / this year) demonstrated by many companies today.

          Why can't you just give an honest, human reply instead of trying to make lame debating points?

          You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                    Finished "Child 44" last night.

                    Tonight I intend to start "Tuesdays with Morrie", I think. I have a stack of 9 books by the side of the bed that I'm slowly working my way through.
