The dramatic story of an improbable gang of self-proclaimed “degenerates” who made WallStreetBets into a cultural movement that moved from the fringes of the internet to the center of Wall Street, upending the global financial markets and changing how an entire generation thinks about money, investing, and themselves.

Very interesting concepts
Revisado: 06-26-24
The idea of this book is already popular knowledge in the investment community. There are already movies about GME . At the time I am writing this it has been already a new chapter in the saga with the return of Roaring Kitty in June 2024 .
Anyhow, the author does not miss a chance to disqualify or portray Trump followers with a list of adjectives that may ban this review. I am not white nor American by birth and the selective criticism called my attention anyway

The surprising results not only demonstrate people’s needs, but the needs of people’s mates as well.

An excellent view of human behaviour
Revisado: 02-23-24
You will not share or accept all the behaviors described in this book. There are parts that I preferred not to listen and I think its is OK. But the rest is very interesting and maybe you can wide your understanding of the human experience

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 512
In 2006, hedge fund manager John Paulson realized something few others suspected - that the housing market and the value of subprime mortgages were grossly inflated and headed for a major fall. Paulson's background was in mergers and acquisitions, however, and he knew little about real estate or how to wager against housing. He had spent a career as an also-ran on Wall Street. But Paulson was convinced this was his chance to make his mark. He just wasn't sure how to do it. Colleagues at investment banks scoffed at him and investors dismissed him.

It is an amazing true story narrated with a fair approach , an astute combination of technical details and personal notes . I am surprised that it does not fall in the easy criticism of the financial system. I recommended without any reservation.

Jim Simons is the greatest money maker in modern financial history. No other investor - Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, Ray Dalio, Steve Cohen, or George Soros - can touch his record. Since 1988, Renaissance's signature Medallion fund has generated average annual returns of 66 percent. The firm has earned profits of more than $100 billion; Simons is worth 23 billion dollars.

It is good. But Chapter 14 belongs to another book
Revisado: 12-03-23
The story is good, it describes the path to creating Renaissance the most successful fund . The narrator is monotonous and sometimes it is good to sleep.
The book takes a strange turn in Chapter 14 when it focuses on President Trump election campaign 2016 . It goes in incredibly detail that I wish it would had to describe the Renaissance or other fund operation. 🤷♂️🤷♂️

Geophysicist Jack Greer believes he may finally have found the resting place of the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. A few miles off the Yucatán coast, Jack and a team of scientists tow an aging drilling platform over the impact crater with the aim of securing a sample. But buried deep beneath the earth lies a shocking discovery that threatens to shatter everything we think we know about our species.

It is not good
Revisado: 08-03-23
The story is shallow and very basic. The initial plot is good but the development is unrealistic to the point where it is funny. The relationship between the characters and their roles is unbelievable. Example, one character of a young woman without any special training , manage to launch a trained killer from a sixth floor ? . One of the big characters bargains with the USA Navy, based on nothing … . The narrative is not in contact with the reality . “ a possible war between the USA and South America “ South America is a subcontinent, not a country. I gave up it is hard to keep hearing it .

Half of all Americans have money in the stock market, yet economists can't agree on whether investors and markets are rational and efficient, as modern financial theory assumes, or irrational and inefficient, as behavioral economists believe - and as financial bubbles, crashes, and crises suggest. This is one of the biggest debates in economics, and the value or futility of investment management and financial regulation hang on the outcome. In this groundbreaking book, Andrew W. Lo cuts through this debate with a new framework.

It is the closest thing to an anthropological book . Sometimes it is just boring. For investing or financial insight I suggest look elsewhere. Your time will be more wisely invested

Piña coladas. Mojitos. Hurricanes. Daiquiris. Mai tais. Nothing makes a vacation like one of these delightful rum drinks, right? But whether blended with ice and fruit or sipped neatly from a glass tumbler, this sweet and fiery spirit brings with it a fascinating, complicated history that stretches back to colonial times of the 17th century in the Caribbean.

The history of Rum is week developed, but at the mid of the book it start a mix of anti capitalism and anti america rhetoric.
The Brotherhood of the Coast a well known and documented pirate organization is depicted romantically and in a much favorable way that capitalism or American people fighting for its independence.
