It is human nature to make simple things more complicated than they actually are. Investing is no exception. From our early days in school, we are briefly taught about the stock market, given complex formulas to take a quantitative approach, and use Greek letters to define terms in the stock market. The constant use of phrases like "smart money" by the media makes you believe you have to know everything about investing to have a chance to succeed. However, there are always two sides to every coin. So You Want to Be a Superinvestor? examines what we were taught about investing from academia and then questions this conventional thinking. Do the greatest investors like Warren Buffett and other Superinvestors also use the conventional wisdom, or do they think about investing differently? Is this nonconventional investing approach accessible to all or only ultrawealthy millionaires? In this easy-to-understand book, the author details his own journey into investing from his early influences from his dad, to what he learned in the realm of academia, to researching other great Superinvestors. Across various books and media, these wildly successful investors have shared their teachings on evaluating companies, how to think about market cycles, investor mindsets, and how the macro economy effects investing. So You Want to Be a Superinvestor? is a comprehensive book that takes the various lessons learned from the Superinvestors and illustrates these points by using examples from the authors own life. The author also makes observations on market moving events, the changing psychology of investors, and provides research and examples from history to guide you in your investing journey. These principles can be used by beginners to intermediate investors to emulate the success of the greats.

What happens when a young Wall Street investment banker spends a small fortune to have lunch with Warren Buffett? He becomes a real value investor. In this fascinating inside story, Guy Spier details his career from Harvard MBA to hedge fund manager. But the path was not so straightforward. Spier reveals his transformation from a Gordon Gekko wannabe, driven by greed, to a sophisticated investor who enjoys success without selling his soul to the highest bidder. Spier's journey is similar to the thousands that flock to Wall Street every year with their shiny new diplomas, aiming to be King of Wall Street. Yet what Guy realized just in the nick of time was that the King really lived 1,500 miles away in Omaha, Nebraska. Spier determinedly set out to create a new career in his own way. Along the way he learned some powerful lessons which include: Spier also reveals some of his own winning investment strategies, detailing deals that were winners but also what he learned from deals that went south. Part memoir, part Wall Street advice, and part how-to, Guy Spier takes readers on a ride through Wall Street--but, more importantly, provides those that want to take a different path with the insight, guidance, and inspiration they need to carve out their own definition of success.

While the concepts covered are not well known by the average investor, they are well appreciated by Wall Street insiders and dealmakers—particularly those who think about stocks as whole companies, as things with real assets, and cash flows that exist in the real world.

The economic climate is ripe for another golden age of shareholder activism Deep Value: Why Activist Investors and Other Contrarians Battle for Control of Losing Corporations is a must-read exploration of deep value investment strategy, describing the evolution of the theories of valuation and shareholder activism from Graham to Icahn and beyond. The book combines engaging anecdotes with industry research to illustrate the principles and methods of this complex strategy, and explains the reasoning behind seemingly incomprehensible activist maneuvers. Written by an active value investor, Deep Value provides an insider's perspective on shareholder activist strategies in a format accessible to both professional investors and laypeople. The Deep Value investment philosophy as described by Graham initially identified targets by their discount to liquidation value. This approach was extremely effective, but those opportunities are few and far between in the modern market, forcing activists to adapt. Current activists assess value from a much broader palate, and exploit a much wider range of tools to achieve their goals. Deep Value enumerates and expands upon the resources and strategies available to value investors today, and describes how the economic climate is allowing value investing to re-emerge. Topics include: Target identification, and determining the most advantageous ends Strategies and tactics of effective activism Unseating management and fomenting change Eyeing conditions for the next M&A boom Activist hedge funds have been quiet since the early 2000s, but economic conditions, shareholder sentiment, and available opportunities are creating a fertile environment for another golden age of activism. Deep Value: Why Activist Investors and Other Contrarians Battle for Control of Losing Corporations provides the in-depth information investors need to get up to speed before getting left behind.
