Warren Buffett

Referred to as the "Oracle of Omaha," Warren Buffett is viewed as one of the most successful investors in history.

Following the principles set out by Benjamin Graham, he has amassed a multibillion dollar fortune mainly through buying stocks and companies through Berkshire Hathaway. Those who invested $10,000 in Berkshire Hathaway in 1965 are above the $165 million mark today.

Buffett's investing style of discipline, patience, and value has consistently outperformed the market for decades.

Peter Lynch

Peter Lynch managed the Fidelity Magellan Fund from 1977 to 1990, during which the fund's assets grew from $18 million to $14 billion.4 More importantly, Lynch reportedly beat the S&P 500 Index benchmark in 11 of those 13 years, achieving an annual average return of 29%.

Often described as a chameleon, Peter Lynch adapted to whatever investment style worked at the time. But when it came to picking specific stocks, Peter Lynch stuck to what he knew and/or could easily understand.

John Templeton

One of the past century's top contrarians, it is said about John Templeton that he bought low during the Depression, sold high during the Internet boom, and made more than a few good calls in between. Templeton created some of the world's largest and most successful international investment funds. He sold his Templeton funds in 1992 to the Franklin Group. In 1999, Money magazine called him "arguably the greatest global stock picker of the century." As a naturalized British citizen living in the Bahamas, Templeton was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his many accomplishments.

Benjamin Graham

Ben Graham excelled as an investment manager and financial educator. He authored, among other works, two investment classics of unparalleled importance. He is also universally recognized as the father of two fundamental investment disciplines—security analysis and value investing.

The essence of Graham's value investing is that any investment should be worth substantially more than an investor has to pay for it. He believed in fundamental analysis and sought out companies with strong balance sheets, or those with little debt, above-average profit margins, and ample cash flow.

George Soros

George Soros was a master at translating broad-brush economic trends into highlyleveraged, killer plays in bonds and currencies. As an investor, Soros was a short-termspeculator, making huge bets on the directions of financial markets. In 1973, George Soros founded thehedge fund company of Soros Fund Management, which eventually evolved into the well-known and respected Quantum Fund. For almost two decades, he ran this aggressive and successful hedge fund, reportedly racking up returns in excess of 30% per year and, on two occasions, posting annual returns of more than 100%.

    Define what's successful: Grow the most money? Being happy, or live the longest? Each style might suit one or another, but there's no way to replicate them directly. There's always a personal context

    Question - why have to follow any one of them? Why not learn from them and adapt. The 4 gurus don't know you like you do right? And so...

    Personally i feel it is Peter Lynch that create the growth element in the share investment world. However, by holding nothing less than 200 stocks at any one time may not be feasible for ordinary ppl
