In this formative period, from 1941-78, Buffett developed and honed the investment philosophy that would lead him to become so successful as his career progressed. But it was not all plain sailing - Buffett made mistakes along the way - and Arnold shows how Buffett learned through success and failure how to select companies worth backing. Arnold also includes insightful "learning points" at the end of each chapter, which reveal how investors can learn from the craft of Warren Buffett to improve their own investing.

Great writing but the narrator CAN’T READ to save his life. Emphasized wrong words, mispronounces a ton.

In 1965, a new immigration law lifted a century of restrictions against Asian immigrants to the United States. Nobody, including the lawmakers who passed the bill, expected it to transform the country’s demographics. But over the next four decades, millions arrived, including Jay Caspian Kang’s parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. They came with almost no understanding of their new home, much less the history of “Asian America” that was supposed to define them.

Narrator is way too breathy and dramatic, doesn’t match JCK’s style at all. Really unnecessary and distracting.

Unknown Market Wizards continues in the three-decade tradition of the hugely popular Market Wizards series, interviewing exceptionally successful traders to learn how they achieved their extraordinary performance results. The twist in Unknown Market Wizards is that the featured traders are individuals trading their own accounts. They are unknown to the investment world. Despite their anonymity, these traders have achieved performance records that rival, if not surpass, the best professional managers.

Incredible feat by narrator
Revisado: 10-08-21
Great book with fascinating insights. But the narration takes this to another level. I was apprehensive to buy because the Q&A format isn’t always great for audio. But Holte does an amazing job with the material, clearly delineating between Schaefer and his subjects through accents and affectations - without being a distraction.

Since its founding in 1892, GE has been more than just a corporation. For generations, it was job security, a solidly safe investment, and an elite business education for top managers. GE electrified America, powering everything from lightbulbs to turbines, and became fully integrated into the American societal mindset as few companies ever had. And after two decades of leadership under legendary CEO Jack Welch, GE entered the 21st century as America’s most valuable corporation. Yet, fewer than two decades later, the GE of old was gone.

Appropriately scathing and backed by strong reporting. Bummer that the narrator pronounces so many words wrong.

A fascinating story, botched
Revisado: 08-23-17
A highly entertaining piece of financial history, but the author can't get out of his own way:
- For some reason the author interjects a few thoughts into the audio book. His interruptions are unnecessary, redundant, self-indulgent, and actually spoil a key moment later in the book.
- The author vastly overestimates reader interest in his own story. No one cares how you wrote and researched the book, they want the story!
- Plenty of factual errors, none of major consequence but all make you question what else the author got wrong. (Tiger Woods was never on Carson. Virginia is not in the "Deep South." A total butchering of the infinite monkey theorem. Etc.)

It was wonderful to be young and working on Wall Street in the 1980s - never had so many 24-year-olds made so much money in so little time. In this shrewd and wickedly funny audiobook, Michael Lewis describes an astonishing era and his own rake's progress through a powerful investment bank.

An abridged disservice
Revisado: 06-26-17
This abridged version, despite its price, only scrapes the surface of the book, the full text of which is wonderful. Also, the Seinfeldian music breaks are bizarre.

In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe.

Great book; beware terrible narration
Revisado: 04-24-17
The book itself is great, as expected. Grann is a master.
The first narrator is a bit slow for my taste. The second narrator (why is there more than one???) arrives unannounced as the story heats up and feels like a cruel joke. He can't decide whether he's doing a bad Sam Elliott impression or a worse Humphrey Bogart impression -- both of which distract from and diametrically contrast Grann's storytelling style.
Just read the book instead.

The guru to the gurus at last shares his knowledge with the rest of us. Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman's seminal studies in behavioral psychology, behavioral economics, and happiness studies have influenced numerous other authors, including Steven Pinker and Malcolm Gladwell. In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman at last offers his own, first book for the general public. It is a lucid and enlightening summary of his life's work. It will change the way you think about thinking. Two systems drive the way we think and make choices, Kahneman explains....

Narrator is terrible
Revisado: 02-05-17
I was very much looking forward to this book, but the narrator sounds computer generated. He's so robotic, it's distracting. (Imagine Siri or an automated phone operator reading telling you a story.) I gave up and will instead read it myself.
