In fact Miles says that one investment is ideal for virtually everyone to own–Berkshire-Hathaway.

In 101 Reasons to Own the World’s Greatest Investment, Miles offers his insights into what makes Berkshire-Hathaway so profitable and why shareholders get such value for owning the stock. Among his explanations: Berkshire-Hathaway is run sensibly and frugally by Buffett–there are no lavish corporate head-quarters or extravagant spending by company executives.

He is a graduate of the University of Michigan Business School, has been an active shareholder of Berkshire-Hathaway for a number of years, and is frequently asked to speak to other investor groups about Buffett.
