One of the greatest things about Warren Buffet is that he wants to share with everybody the techniques for accumulating wealth.

YouTube is loaded with videos in which Buffet explains clearly how to get rich slowly but surely.

He's even got a cartoon series for kids, the Secret Millionaire's Club. (http://www.smckids.com/)

Buffet has figured out how to reliably win the game, he wants everybody to have that ability. He's a good guy.

Marketing himself as a folksy Nebraskan also does wonders for his dealflow, which is one of the secrets of his success. He gets first pass at a lot of privately-owned companies who agree to sell at a low price, because he’s Warren Buffett and won’t ruin their companies.

That's not just "marketing himself". That's a reputation earned over decades of buying companies and making the previous owners and managers into winners.

I don't think we disagree. Having run my own company, the biggest lesson learned is that marketing should never have "just" in front of it.

I need to see one good video. Yes there are lot of videos of him but I want to see a video of him that explains to a common Joe, with common means on how to achieve modest financial success.

Hi Dennis, I just saw this note, I'll be glad to suggest. Instead of YouTube, head on over to bogleheads.org. Warren Buffet's investment philosophy largely aligned with Jack Bogle's. Bogle has a large group of enthusiastic followers who record it all, simply and backed up with free advice when sought. If your prospects are even close to average, you should fare very well. Good luck!

Thanks Rick, I will look it up.
