The legendary investor shows how to identify and master the cycles that govern the markets. We all know markets rise and fall, but when should you pull out, and when should you stay in? The answer is never black or white, but is best reached through a keen understanding of the reasons behind the rhythm of cycles. Confidence about where we are in a cycle comes when you learn the patterns of ups and downs that influence not just economics, markets and companies, but also human psychology and the investing behaviors that result.

We live in an extraordinary time. Technological advances are happening at a rate faster than our ability to understand them, and in a world that moves faster than we can imagine, we cannot afford to stand still. These advances bring efficiency and abundance - and they are profoundly deflationary. Our economic systems were built for a pre-technology era when labor and capital were inextricably linked - an era that counted on growth and inflation and an era where we made money from inefficiency.

I had high hopes of this book
this work is highly recommended by several experts. however it's sort of difficult to follow and it's advanced not intermediate or beginner level. the author does point out some opportunities however there is no proof on the data particularly when you get to spin offs today for example there are ETF spinoff funds that don't beat the market as one of the many example of the books fallacies.

He specializes in alternative investments not typical investments that most people seek. Corny sense of humor and u won't become a genius reading this title. I actually think it's a super big waste of time and the guys a fake. Did not improve my investment skills.
