Product Description

warren buffet and george soros both started with nothing and made billion-dollar fortunes solely by investing. at first glance they seem to have nothing in common: buffett buys bargain-priced stocks and businesses for cash; and soros is renowned for his highly-leveraged, quick-footed bets in the currency markets. so what do they have in common?

as mark tier demonstrates in the winning investment habits of warren buffet and george soros, they practice exactly the same mental habits and strategies when investing, and these tactics have since been used successfully by all other traders and investors that tier has worked with - without exception.

by sharing 23 key investment habits in this ground-breaking book, the author provides you with the rare opportunity to understand the logic behind them and make them your own.

Customer Reviews

The best first book to read
This is the book I wish I read when I began investing a few years ago. It will set anyone off in the right steps and mind set for investing. It also has a good section at the end where the author has rate some other investment books. The book will also serve as a good reference that you can refer back to when analyzing your investment technique/system. Note, this book is well worth the read for investors of any level of experience.

I didn't want this book to end.
That's how much I enjoyed reading this book! For me personally, Mark's book has been a real eye opener and has made me re-evaluate totally my approach to trading and investing. Whilst a fair chunk of this book does espouse standard common sense themes that you will find in virtually every investment book worth it's salt, there are also a lot of ideas in here that goes against conventional wisdom, and certainly gives the reader much food for thought. One of the chapters that I kept reading over and over again was the one on why you should concentrate, not diversify, your portfolio; that goes against everything you've ever heard before from so-called 'expert advisers', but when you sit back and really think about it, what they want to achieve isn't necessarily the same as what you want to achieve as a serious invester. This book helps you to look inwards to yourself, rather than concentrating on what's going on around you, because whether you succeed or fail in the stockmarket depends very much on what goes on inside your head. So read this book thoroughly and understand what it's trying to tell you, and even if you do not aspire to reach Master Investor status, by adopting some or all of the mental habits that both Buffett and Soros practice, it will put you on your way to trading and investing comfortably and with unconscious competence.

Invest in this book!
I have been investing for 10 years, sometimes successfully and sometimes with disastrous results. This book has given me the tools to assess my successes and failures.

It would be a wise investment decision to buy this book. Not only will you always refer to it's content but you will be entertained while you are educated. It is a fun read delivering what some people believe to be a heavy topic - Psychological strategies and tactics of master investors.

Invest in this book and watch your personal wealth grow.
