Synopsis
PRAISE FOR BIG MISTAKES "Were often told how the best get it right, but not how the best can still get it wrong. In Big Mistakes: The Best Investors and Their Worst Investments , Michael Batnick illuminates the reasons why revered investors like Warren Buffett and Jack Bogle along with brilliant minds like Mark Twain and even Isaac Newton have still, at times, lost grand sums of money." Bethany McLean, Author of The Smartest Guys in the Room , Contributing Editor, Vanity Fair "Michael Batnick has written a terrific book on investing that doubles as solid financial history. Learning about what has failed, and why, is often more instructive than highlighting success." Jim Chanos, President and Founder, Kynikos Associates "Michael Batnicks new book Big Mistakes: The Best Investors and Their Worst Investments is superb. It succinctly covers the mistakes that some of the greatest investment legends made, and in doing so, reminds us that everyone makes mistakes and that one of the best things we can do to improve our investment results is learn from both our own mistakes and those of others. Happily, one big mistake is easy to avoid not reading Michaels fascinating and informative new book. Now that would be a big mistake." Jim OShaughnessy, Author of What Works on Wall Street , Founder, Chairman, and Chief Investment Officer, OShaughnessy Asset Management "Michael has written one of the important investment books of our time. Good investing isnt all about being smart; its about maintaining emotional discipline. This book is an amazing chronicle of investors who, at times, didnt. And since many of those profiled are the greatest investors who ever lived, their lessons are even more relevant to the rest of us." Morgan Housel, Partner, Collaborative Fund, A Must-Read for Any Investor Looking to Maximize Their Chances of Success Big Mistakes: The Best Investors and Their Worst Investments explores the ways in which the biggest names have failed, and reveals the lessons learned that shaped more successful strategies going forward., A Must-Read for Any Investor Looking to Maximize Their Chances of Success Big Mistakes: The Best Investors and Their Worst Investments explores the ways in which the biggest names have failed, and reveals the lessons learned that shaped more successful strategies going forward. Investing can be a rollercoaster of highs and lows, and the investors detailed here show just how low it can go; stories from Warren Buffet, Bill Ackman, Chris Sacca, Jack Bogle, Mark Twain, John Maynard Keynes, and many more illustrate the simple but overlooked concept that investing is really hard, whether you're managing a few thousand dollars or a few billion, failures and losses are part of the game. Much more than just anecdotal diversion, these stories set the basis for the book's critical focus: learning from mistakes. These investors all recovered from their missteps, and moved forward armed with a wealth of knowledge than can only come from experience. Lessons learned through failure carry a weight that no textbook can convey, and in the case of these legendary investors, informed a set of skills and strategy that propelled them to the top. Research-heavy and grounded in realism, this book is a must-read for any investor looking to maximize their chances of success. Learn the most common ways even successful investors fail Learn from the mistakes of the greats to avoid losing ground Anticipate challenges and obstacles, and develop an advance plan Exercise caution when warranted, and only take the smart risks While learning from your mistakes is always a valuable experience, learning from the mistakes of others gives you the benefit of wisdom without the consequences of experience. Big Mistakes: The Best Investors and Their Worst Investments provides an incomparable, invaluable resource for investors of all stripes.
