Warren Buffett, arguably the greatest investor of all-time, praised Howard Marks for his memos, saying, “When I see memos from Howard Marks in my mail, they’re the first thing I open and read. I always learn something.” Howard majored in finance at Wharton and received his MBA from the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago.
