Howard Marks's The Most Important Thing distilled the investing insight of his celebrated client memos into a single volume and, for the first time, made his time-tested philosophy available to general readers. In this edition, Marks's wisdom is joined by the comments, insights, and counterpoints of four renowned investors and investment educators: Christopher C. Davis (Davis Funds), Joel Greenblatt (Gotham Capital), Paul Johnson (Nicusa Capital), and Seth A. Klarman (Baupost Group). These experts lend insight into such concepts as "second-level thinking," the price/value relationship, patient opportunism, and defensive investing. Marks also adds his own annotations, expanding on his book's original themes and issues. A new chapter addresses the importance of reasonable expectations, and a foreword by Bruce C. Greenwald, called "a guru to Wall Street's gurus" by the New York Times, speaks on value investing, productivity, and the economics of information. *** Howard Marks, the chairman and cofounder of Oaktree Capital Management, is renowned for his insightful assessments of market opportunity and risk. After four decades spent ascending to the top of the investment management profession, he is today sought out by the world's leading value investors, and his client memos brim with insightful commentary and a time-tested, fundamental philosophy. Now for the first time, all readers can benefit from Marks's wisdom, concentrated into a single volume that speaks to both the amateur and seasoned investor. Informed by a lifetime of experience and study, The Most Important Thing explains the keys to successful investment and the pitfalls that can destroy capital or ruin a career. Utilizing passages from his memos to illustrate his ideas, Marks teaches by example, detailing the development of an investment philosophy that fully acknowledges the complexities of investing and the perils of the financial world. Brilliantly applying insight to today's volatile markets, Marks offers a volume that is part memoir, part creed, with a number of broad takeaways. Marks expounds on such concepts as "second-level thinking," the price/value relationship, patient opportunism, and defensive investing. Frankly and honestly assessing his own decisions--and occasional missteps--he provides valuable lessons for critical thinking, risk assessment, and investment strategy. Encouraging investors to be "contrarian," Marks wisely judges market cycles and achieves returns through aggressive yet measured action. Which element is the most essential? Successful investing requires thoughtful attention to many separate aspects, and each of Marks's subjects proves to be the most important thing. "This is that rarity, a useful book."--Warren Buffett

读后感

【投资最重要的事】 第一章：如果你的想法和大众一样，那么你不可能成功。因为这是一个零和的博弈，你要赢，就得有人输。做投资你必须要有第二思维。 第二章：市场不总是有效的，无效的市场给了我们买入卖出的机会，投资就是要去找这些被错误定价了的机会，低估时买入，高估...

投资这个充满了魔力的领域，门槛低得似乎任何人只要有一定的金钱都可以再其中一展身手，倘若一些交易又让投资者赚到一些钱的话，可能自负的投资者会认为自己已经跻身到堪比大师的行列，甚至会产生差距已经离巴菲特不远的幻觉了。 事实上，很多投资者要花很多年、很多钱和很多...

some insights in what a second-level thinker concerns when swinging in the market

再认真读一遍，以前一直有一种心态就是《霸王别姬》里小豆子那句“我什么时候也能成角？” 现在这种想法不在那么强烈了， 更淡定了？！ 想了想，无论是投资、读书、喜欢一个人、表达自己的观点，其实都不用那么太“用力”的。

已然是我读过的最好的投资相关书籍——“最好”不夸张。注定还会再读若干遍。本想精读并翻译，但显然已经有了中文版。
