Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 56
During one crazy week in January 2021, a motley crew of retail traders on Reddit’s r/wallstreetbets forum had seemingly done the impossible—they had brought some of the biggest, richest players on Wall Street to their knees. Their weapon was GameStop, a failing retailer whose shares briefly became the most-traded security on the planet and the subject of intense media coverage. The Revolution That Wasn’t is the riveting story of how the meme stock squeeze unfolded, and of the real architects (and winners) of the GameStop rally.

A not so good recount of the meme stock mania
Revisado: 04-10-22
I think most would go into this story expecting an unbiased recounting of the events that lead up to the beginnings of the meme stock craze that hit in early 2021. Unfortunate this book is not that. Instead the author's main purpose seems to be to push his own style of investing (index fund investing) and to call all of the young whipper snappers that drove the craze foolish and naive for thinking they could participate in the stock market on their own terms. He walks right up to the line of suggesting they shouldn't even be allowed in the market at all. This book reads like your parents who haven't job hunted in decades telling you to print out your resume and go pound the pavement with a firm handshake if you want to get another job. Essentially it's a relic from a bygone Era. Just skip this book

Excellent summary of the problem
Revisado: 01-02-22
Nina lays out the problem well. After the last four years of blurring the line between truth and fiction we have a long way to go before we are back to being a healthy society

This passionate expertise manifesto is intended to elevate the impact of advisors who sell insight as entrepreneurs. Three foundational chapters form the basis of the entire audiobook: Experts develop insight by isolating patterns in data; they convert those insights to wealth by crafting a unique positioning for which few available substitutes exist; and their confidence grows as the marketplace embraces their application of expertise. The next 15 chapters - building on that foundation - each answer a single question.

Meh
Revisado: 12-02-21
Very generic book. I can't really argue with anything said but I also would say any of it is very innovative advice.

I was expecting a fieldguide. Something that would help me practice scrum in my daily life. This book is just another collection of stories of companies implementing scrum but does nothing to help me understand HOW those companies implemented scrum.

Interesting but hardly informative
Revisado: 06-11-20
To sort to really be engaging. The book lacks any depth and barely touches on the subject.
