Synopsis

Investors are tempted daily with misinformation. They make lucky bets that breed false confidence, and their high-stakes gambles can take an emotional toll. How can anyone stay focused in such a volatile profession?

In Big Money Thinks Small, veteran fund manager Joel Tillinghast urges investors to act cautiously and follow five primary steps to successful investing: (1) know yourself; (2) make decisions based on your own knowledge; (3) select trustworthy and capable colleagues and collaborators; (4) avoid businesses that seem destined to fail; and (5) always search for bargains. Patience and methodical planning will pay far greater dividends than rash, bold investments. Through sensible instruction, Tillinghast teaches listeners how to ask the right questions in any investing situation and think objectively and generatively about portfolio management.

Goodreads review by Ben

3/5 might be a bit harsh, but I've read a lot of investment books now and I don't just want to give 4/5 by default. I think loss aversion plays a role in these book ratings: You've invested quite a few hours reading this book, so now you don't want to regret the time (and money) gone, so you tell yo......more

An outstanding book I'd like to own for a deeper dive and reference. Alas, this was a library borrow which came due prior to my finishing several chapters. Even so I'm breaking my own rule to mark it as read in order to capture the essence of it's quality and to remind myself to review my notes and......more
