The Wolf of Investing

My Insider's Playbook for Making a Fortune on Wall Street

By: Jordan Belfort

Narrated by: Jordan Belfort

Length: 10 hrs and 15 mins

Publisher's summary

From the “raw and frequently hilarious” (The New York Times) investment guru and New York Times bestselling author of The Wolf of Wall Street who inspired the Oscar-winning film of the same name, a witty and clear-eyed guide for anyone who wants to play the stock market to their advantage and learn the secrets of a top Wall Street investor.

From Jordan Belfort, author of The Way of the Wolf and subject of the hit movie The Wolf of Wall Street, comes his long-anticipated guide for mastering the stock market. The Wolf of Investing teaches you when to buy, sell, hold, and cash out; how to make smarter (and safer) investments; and how to build significant wealth over both the short- and long-term. Unlike traditional investment books, each page of Jordan’s lessons, colorful stories, and principles entertains you with the charismatic swagger portrayed so famously on the silver screen by Leonardo DiCaprio.

When Belfort’s brother-in-law, Fernando, lost nearly $100,000 dollars in investments in under sixty days, Jordan sat him down for some tough love. Using the financial acumen and insider’s knowledge he learned during his time working on Wall Street, Jordan taught Fernando how to turn his portfolio around. Along the way, he explained which decisions were bad and why, as well as how to pivot from failure to success.

Belfort teaches you everything you need to know about savvy investing—even if, like Fernando, whatever stock you’ve touched has turned to yesterday’s trash. As you listen to this guide, you will not only learn life’s most profitable lessons, but you’ll also laugh out loud at Belfort’s brazen honesty and salty wit. After being enraged by watching big banks steal money from individual investors, and determined to right the wrongs of his own infamous past, Belfort now shows regular investors how we can use Wall Street to our advantage.

Whether you’re new to investing or want to take your portfolio to the next level, you will learn everything Belfort knows about the stock market from The Wolf of Investing.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

easy to understand. fun listen

this book was a fun listen for a subject that many people find boring. very informative and useable information

The Wolf of Wall Street made me a better investor

This audiobook is an informative and entertaining experience. If you read it you will know more about stocks and investments then 95% of the investing public and be better equipped then some financial advisors to help yourself maintain and grow your wealth for the long term. If you are easily offended by bad words I don’t recommend this book. But I feel they are important to the information provided since they appropriately emphasize the dirty deeds that have gone on and continue to go on in Wall Street. Listen to this book and you will be a better investor period.

Entertaining and Educational

I really enjoy all of Jordan Belfort's books for their entertainment value, clarity, and educational content, and 'The Wolf Of Investing' is no exception. Although it didn't introduce me to new investing strategies, it offered fascinating insights into the history of the stock market and Wall Street. The book excels in breaking down complex topics for beginners, making it easy for someone new to investing to understand the basics. Belfort effectively explains the bond market and various investment vehicles like ETFs for bonds and indexes. I recommend this book to both new and intermediate investors for its comprehensive content, and to seasoned investors for its intriguing historical perspectives.

Stories and history

loved how Jordan was able to take something that could have been very boring and turn it into something I had to finish. I definitely learned exactly what I needed to prepare my future earnings. I'm definitely a novice at best and most of my life lived paycheck to paycheck and now that my wife and I are starting to have extra to invest I'm so glad that this book told the truth of Wall Street. The history and the stories of brother and sister in-laws definitely my favorite part. Time to begin life towards that nest egg thank you

Do yourself a favor

If you’re all interested in investing, get this book! Mr. Belfort gives us a unique perspective that only he has on both sides of the coin. I love the subtle humor and I also think that he does a better job explaining some complex ideas and situations better than anyone I know of in the space. Rereading a few times to retain all this good information

Fun and informative

I unfortunately learned many of these insights the hard way through a crypto scam! The sad thing is I have lived by if it's to good to be true it always is, but as Jordan said I let my emotions make my decisions and the scammer took me for a ride to the poor house.
Wish I had read this a few years ago, but live and learn.
I am now on the slow and steady path to my nest egg.

Skeptical

I really like Jordan Belfort. The Way of the Wolf is great! This book feels like he was paid off by Vanguard or someone on Wall Street to sell this story the way he wrote this…

Great book to get started on stocks !!

Great book to learn from to learn stocks and bonds and the way of the market. Great listen!

Learn from the professionals

I enjoyed the story and the approach but understand this may not be for everyone. If you pay attention to the important points, you will gain valuable insights into investing, creating a balanced portfolio between equity, debt and speculation that will make you money and potentially save you from yourself!

I won’t give away the values of the book but a key fund discussed is up 8% with the lowest expense ratio! I highly recommend this book.

Good to hear a different side of Wall Street

Good book. Mordor lets us all know how they are all crooks. Don’t get fooled by the game. Learn to make money and be patient.
