The real book is great

Revisado: 05-06-24

I would prefer the real book simply read read without the pauses, noises and the actors' delight in hearing themself utilize a wide repertoire of voices. The main character's voice in particular is not close to the voice of someone who is at their own peril contesting Big Brother. I think it was free so I cannot complain, but the fanfare takes away from the original novel.

This is not about rare earth's

Revisado: 04-03-21

The book is about geopolitics. rare earths are popular. There is nothing useful regarding uses, economics, distribution of, cost of extraction, space or anything scientist or investors or marketers or entrepreneurs can use. The author considers all these facile occupations. The book IMO was written to sell & make monery,. The research required for the book would take ten minutes and then just a bunch of dated opinion. I will admit, I only made it through 3 chapters before writing this. Too many fake books out there these days.

too basic

Revisado: 05-27-18

The author explains right up front that this is not a book for investors. He spends an inordinate amount of time explaining what the market cap is. I cannot help but give this the analogy, you are to make dynamite, however, safety issues will be skipped and detailed instructions will not be given. That said, I will study what I can about the author & his other works, he does show you where the path begins.

not much history

Revisado: 01-14-18

What was most disappointing about Yuval Noah Harari’s story?

This does not give much history, but more opinions presented as facts. I was hoping to learn more about the last 50,000 years of Homo Sapiens, but that is not included for the most part.

a must read for a long term investor

Revisado: 02-08-14

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

The author identifies 15 characteristics of good companies for investment in companies that can pay off big over 25 years. Identification of good management is a key theme.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

If a company is to grow a few hundred percent or more, much more, over 25 years, does it really matter that much if you pay an extra 50 cents per share now? That, let us say 1.5% higher price on a good company that will continue to grow could cost a few hundred percent. Good companies rarely fall to bargain prices.

Any additional comments?

This book is one of Warren Buffet's favorites, and when it comes to the recommendation within to perform "Skuttlebutt", Warren certainly does. It is a good companion to The Intelligent Investor, another classic worth re-reading.

A good read / listen

Revisado: 01-03-14

Any additional comments?

This book delves into various state government financial obligations, and gives a good history of the origination of the various policies. The states in the best and worst financial shape are described. If one wants to have a basic understanding of our financial situation, instead of a pretend emotional pile of assumptions that passes for knowledge, please read this to get a piece of the puzzle. (If you have not read dozens of books on economics, this book will still be intelligible. You might also look at Meridith's other works, including USA Inc., a free online presentation ... dated but still relevant.)
