Story
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.

Story
Twenty-five years ago, Neil Howe and the late William Strauss dazzled the world with a provocative new theory of American history. Looking back at the last 500 years, they’d uncovered a distinct pattern: modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting roughly 80 to 100 years, the length of a long human life, with each cycle composed of four eras—or “turnings”—that always arrive in the same order and each last about 25 years. The last of these eras—the fourth turning—was always the most perilous, a period of civic upheaval and national mobilization.

Insanity seems to rule the financial markets and many investors are driven by delusion and anxiety. Could everything you thought you knew about investing be wrong? The Austrian School’s approach provides the needed respite for investors caught in inflationary treadmills. Conventional investment experts often overlook economic developments, which may become a hazard for mainstream investors. Instead, the Austrian School of Economics has proved itself as an independent approach beyond the interests of politicians and bankers.

Publisher's summary
Investing is one of the few areas in life where even very smart people let hope triumph over experience.
According to Wall Street Journal investing columnist Spencer Jakab, most of us have no idea how much money we're leaving on the table - or that the average saver doesn't come anywhere close to earning the "average" returns touted in those glossy brochures. We're handicapped not only by psychological biases and a fear of missing out but by an industry with multimillion-dollar marketing budgets and an eye on its own bottom line, not yours.
Unless you're very handy, you probably don't know how to fix your own car or give a family member a decent haircut. But most Americans are expected to be part-time fund managers. With a steady, livable pension check becoming a rarity, we've been entrusted with our own finances and, for the most part, failed miserably.
Since leaving his job as a top-rated stock analyst to become an investing columnist, Jakab has watched his readers and listeners - and his family, friends, and colleagues - make the same mistakes again and again. He set out to evaluate the typical advice people get, from the clearly risky to the seemingly safe, to figure out where it all goes wrong and how they could do much better. Blending entertaining stories with some surprising research, Jakab explains:
- How a typical saver could have a retirement nest egg twice as large by being cheap and lazy
- Why investors who put their savings with a high-performing mutual fund manager end up worse off than if they'd picked one who has struggled
- The best way to cash in on your hunch that a recession is looming
- How people who check their brokerage accounts frequently end up falling behind the market
- Who isn't nearly as good at investing as the media would have you think
He also explains why you should never trust a World Cup-predicting octopus, why you shouldn't invest in companies with an X or a Z in their names, and what to do if a time traveler offers you economic news from the future.
Whatever your level of expertise, Heads I Win, Tails I Win can help you vastly improve your odds of investment success.

Best-selling author Ken Fisher here explains how investor's memories play (often costly) tricks on them. Fisher takes aim at some major market memory mishaps, like the idea that stocks have become inherently more volatile or that wildly above - or below - average returns are abnormal. He shows how, early in every recovery, investors don’t believe in it - often at a huge cost. And he shows how, in investing, ideology is deadly. Most important, he explains how you can use history as a powerful investing tool.

The finance sector of Western economies is too large and attracts too many of the smartest college graduates. Financialization over the past three decades has created a structure that lacks resilience and supports absurd volumes of trading. The finance sector devotes too little attention to the search for new investment opportunities and the stewardship of existing ones, and far too much to secondary-market dealing in existing assets. Regulation has contributed more to the problems than the solutions.

The Reality: The biggest thing you won't learn in college is how to succeed professionally. Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn't finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills in an institution of higher education. And like them, most of what you'll need to learn to be successful you'll have to learn on your own, outside of school.

Got my head screwed on straight
In these turbulent markets, Jakab’s book couldn’t have come at a better time. He channels a lot of the time-tested wisdom we have read from the likes of Graham and Bogle into a distilled and easy-to-consume format, bringing in his years of experience as an analyst and financial journalist. Overall a wonderful perspective to learn from with no BS flags going up. Do yourself a favor and buy a copy, before you do something stupid!

A Good, Honest, Reality Check!
What did you love best about Heads I Win, Tails I Win?
I really appreciated Spencer's point of view about investing. We all think that we are above the odds or above average; and its time that we had a good hard look at our true odds at "winning" the market. Average returns sound bad but when everyone else is lagging the S&P 500, suddenly it brings some much needed perspective on the subject. This book's style of simple and straight forward advice reminded me of a Canadian classic; The Wealth Barber, and i really appreciated that aspect. Simple ideas that anyone can use.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Heads I Win, Tails I Win?
The Important things to know:-Interfering with your investments in an attempt to achieve better performance = BAD.-Avoiding actively managed funds because only hindsight is 20/20 = GOODThe subject of Baron Rothschild in the first half of the book was a really great example of why its important to have proper diversification to withstand hard times in the market and not always "swing for the fences". Best of all, in the last few chapters, Spencer lays out how this doesn't have to be as complicated as some make it out to be.
What does Sean Pratt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I loved having the narrator for this book, because I felt like it allowed the occasional sarcasm and humor infused into the book to be more effective. Like having a casual chat with a mate.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Sit back and relax, you were only making it worse.
Any additional comments?
There were moments of "Inside Baseball" and stories of his time in a firm that I wish we could hear more about. I always appreciate hearing people's experiences behind the scenes, perhaps this could be the start of a more detailed memoir in the years to come. With his connections I'm sure it would be great.

Best book ever for "average" and investors
Everything you ever needed to hear about your own greed and/or fear related to investing. Just a great, extremely level headed look at the market and your place in it.
