评分 评分这本书卖得不好的话,要怪拍板封面的产品经理。 原版封面是这样的: 看看,“一只蝴蝶扇动小翅膀,一片混沌波动向远方”。 那怎么面对这混沌波动?硕大的VALUE一词,粗体红色印刷。 下面是作者的名字。简明扼要。 看看中文版封面 主题图是鸟巢一样的东西里立着一颗巨蛋。 设...

What happens when a young hedge fund manager spends a small fortune to have lunch with Warren Buffett? He becomes a true value investor.
This book traces the arc of a transformation. Author Guy Spier started his career as a Gordon Gekko wannabe -- brash, short-sighted and entirely out for himself. Then, a series of transformations and self-realizations led him from an investment banking job with a third-rate firm to managing his own fund, which has generated tremendous returns for his investors. His journey began with the discovery of Ben Graham's The Intelligent Investor, then took him on a path to a life-changing meeting with the renowned investor Mohnish Pabrai, followed by his famous lunch with Warren Buffett. That $650,100 meal proved to be a bargain, teaching Spier some of the most valuable lessons of his life.
Along the way, he has gained many powerful insights about investing and business, including: why the right mentors and role models are the key to long-term success as an investor; how a top-notch education can get in your way; why self-knowledge is so critical to becoming a great investor; and how Buffett taught him that the ultimate goal in life is to be true to yourself.
This book is an extraordinarily candid memoir that takes the reader into some of the darkest corners of Wall Street. It's also a remarkably smart and practical guide to what it takes to become a successful investor. Most important, Guy Spier provides those who want to take a different path with the insight, guidance and inspiration they need to succeed on their own terms.
一个沃伦巴菲特的fanboy。虽然他的经历不能完全复制,但是我很赞成他的价值观,金融本质上也是一种提供服务,那么最终的主旨肯定是要有价值的服务才可长久持续。希望从事金融行业的小伙伴们也能少点sales多点service。
评分环境和公司文化会影响员工的道德判断,想要靠个人影响环境是很难的;增加行动力,避免负面思维。选择好一个价值投资交流的圈子,躲开不透明的人,向你的偶像学习、模仿他的操作,避免由于妒忌和ego导致非理性投资,怀抱感恩的心。建立内在标准而非外在标准。永久资本+保守用杠杆是金融危机时保存资本的诀窍。我们无法靠自己的大脑来战胜我们的偏见(每个人都不同),只有强制性的设计才可以帮我们纠正偏差。把投资作为游戏看待。不要去主动接收别人卖的服务,避免被管理层销售套路迷惑, 和同僚谈股票的时候用开放式问题来研究, 避免被市场价格冲昏头脑和在公众面前谈论一个股票。建立系统性的checklist,是否给买卖双方带来双赢, 是否不用受过多外力因素影响.助人就是助己。对投资者不要强留。
