Book I read this month
The Most Important Thing – Uncommon Sense for the Thoughtful Investor by Howard Marks (Amazon)
Flamboyant and charismatic investors often get more press than the introverted ones. Howard Marks is one of those under-appreciated value investors who’s work we would do well to assimilate. I have been a fan of his “memos” for the longest time. The book adds historical context to his memos and provides a peek into his thought process. If you see some of Marks’ videos, he comes across as a droning, bitter, professor who keeps telling you that you are not smart enough to make it as a professional investor. If you can get past that vibe, there is a wealth of information you can tap into.
My notes on the book are on OneNote.
