In \u003ci\u003eBig Mistakes: \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Best Investors and Their Worst Investments\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Batnick illuminates the reasons why revered investors like Warren Buffett and Jack Bogle--along with brilliant minds like Mark Twain and even Isaac Newton--have still, at times, lost grand sums of money.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e --Bethany McLean, \u003c\/b\u003e Author of \u003ci\u003eThe Smartest Guys in the Room\u003c\/i\u003e, Contributing Editor, \u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Batnick has written a terrific book on investing that doubles as solid financial history. Learning about what has failed, and why, is often more instructive than highlighting success.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e --Jim Chanos, \u003c\/b\u003e President and Founder, Kynikos Associates \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Batnick's new book \u003ci\u003eBig Mistakes: \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Best Investors and Their Worst Investments\u003c\/i\u003e is superb. It succinctly covers the mistakes that some of the greatest investment legends made, and in doing so, reminds us that everyone makes mistakes and that one of the best things we can do to improve our investment results is learn from both our own mistakes and those of others. Happily, one big mistake is easy to avoid--not reading Michael's fascinating and informative new book. Now that would be a big mistake.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e --Jim O'Shaughnessy, \u003c\/b\u003e Author of \u003ci\u003eWhat Works on Wall Street\u003c\/i\u003e, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Investment Officer, O'Shaughnessy Asset Management \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael has written one of the important investment books of our time. Good investing isn't all about being smart; it's about maintaining emotional discipline. This book is an amazing chronicle of investors who, at times, didn't. And since many of those profiled are the greatest investors who ever lived, their lessons are even more relevant to the rest of us.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e --Morgan Housel, \u003c\/b\u003e Partner, Collaborative Fund\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49543313785105,"sku":"GOR009357904","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49731789652241,"sku":"NGR9781119366553","price":32.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49972257685777,"sku":"CIN1119366550VG","price":8.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50784972210449,"sku":"GOR010624149","price":14.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52105991225617,"sku":"CIN1119366550G","price":8.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53230998552849,"sku":"NIN9781119366553","price":33.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53380202496273,"sku":"GOR012083237","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53401656328465,"sku":"GOR012912772","price":11.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1119366550.jpg?v=1751442423","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/big-mistakes-book-michael-batnick-9781119366553","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
