Take your investing acumen to the next level. While this book is not for investing novices, I highly recommend it for long-term investors trying to get a better understanding of how the financial markets operate and how market cycles evolve.
This book is an in-depth and invaluable look at how investors should view and evaluate cycles to better position their portfolios.
The book is not about predicting the future but seeing the present with clear eyes. It's about relative decisions, not absolutes.

Beyond redundant, downright tedious. The thesis of this book should have been expressed in a white paper or something...did not require 260 odd pages.

Boring, basic info. After hearing their claimed bets on the dotcom era and financial collapse of 2008 I still think its survivorship bias. They just stayed in the game. Pass.

Another gem from Marks. Brilliant insight on market cycles and how to position yourself for profit. Marks takes the time to introduce different economic and financial cycles in the first half of the book, then introduces the reader to insights on positioning.
This book may seem repetitive, especially after reading "The Most Important Thing", but the repetition is a great way to ingrain these philosophies into the readers mind. Howard Marks is a great investor and hedge fund manager. He is proving himself to be quite an adept and entertaining writer as well.
