"The Master Investor" or "The 23 Winning Investment Habits"
|
I rather suspect that candidate titles for this book were "The Master Investor" or "The 23 Winning Investment Habits" since both of these phrases are repeated throughout the book. Either of those titles would have made this book 'another one', but the name-dropping in the title gives it a unique angle.
I'm not sure that Warren Buffett and George Soros have as much in common as is implied at the outset, except they are both master investors. In fact, I think it is illuminating to see how two such different characters can succeed in the same game. The bottom line is that there are many ways to make money in the stock market providing you preserve your capital at all costs, only commit (and big) when your are damn sure you are right, and get out quick if you are wrong. Develop your own style, and learn from your own mistakes.
If I'm sounding a little critical, that's not the intention. This is one of the best investment / trading / speculation books I have read -- and I've read a lot!

Invest in this book!

I have been investing for 10 years, sometimes successfully and sometimes with disastrous results. This book has given me the tools to assess my successes and failures.
It would be a wise investment decision to buy this book. Not only will you always refer to it's content but you will be entertained while you are educated. It is a fun read delivering what some people believe to be a heavy topic - Psychological strategies and tactics of master investors.
Invest in this book and watch your personal wealth grow.

The best first book to read
|
|
This is the book I wish I read when I began investing a few years ago. It will set anyone off in the right steps and mind set for investing. It also has a good section at the end where the author has rate some other investment books. The book will also serve as a good reference that you can refer back to when analyzing your investment technique/system. Note, this book is well worth the read for investors of any level of experience.
