boilermaker75 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I was not aware of this book. Thanks for mentioning it. It is on my wish list. I found the book "The Education of a Speculator" entertaining, but not of much use to value investors, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraven Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Review of the book: http://www.beyondproxy.com/book-review-education-value-investor/ Let me suggest an appropriate title for the review: "Intern reviews boss's book and likes it" When asked about it the intern said "I absolutely loved the book. It's probably the best book on investing since The Intelligent Investor! And I really love working here. Everyone is so nice. Guy is really the best and very helpful. He even proofed my review and made some edits before it went out!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddballstocks Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 You guys are cruel! I'll be looking forward to your critical reviews. A critical review of a "investing guru"...yup that'll be widely accepted. Rather it'll be rationalized and dismissed like it never happened.

Valueguy134 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I had Guy Spier on twitter, but all he had been doing was promoting his book and how great it was (flooding my feed), I got rid of him. After reading the review, it will most likely be a book I pass on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manualofideas Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 I may be biased because Guy is a friend, but I found the book an enjoyable and worthwhile read. It is not necessarily a how-to on investing, although it does include some excellent advice on constructing a value-oriented investment process and other pieces of practical wisdom. To me, the book really served as confirmation that it is never too late to adopt the right principles, and that success is not accidental. Each of us can vastly increase our chances of success in business and life by associating with people we respect and by studying those who have succeeded in the past.

cubsfan Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Last fall Guy did what I thought was one of the most insightful interviews I've ever read. At least, it had an impact on me - as it was just as much about how to live your life as it was about investing. If you're interested, the interview was with Columbia Business School: http://www4.gsb.columbia.edu/filemgr?&file_id=7314104 I don't know Guy at all - but he has a very impressive track record (read his annual report if you need proof). Just as importantly, he's a willing and able teacher - much like Monish. So I'm looking forward to reading his book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merkhet Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Same here. I've always found him to be a thorough and intellectually honest thinker. I'm also looking forward to the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
