manualofideas Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 [amazonsearch]The Education of a Value Investor[/amazonsearch] This should be a great and inspiring read for all of us -- already available for pre-order.
boilermaker75 Posted February 20, 2014 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.
CorpRaider Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Thanks for the head's up. I'm in for a copy.
Parsad Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Thanks for the head's up. I'm in for a copy. I'm looking forward to this one. A great investor and a great person! Cheers!

Thanks for the heads up - Spier had a great interview here last fall: http://www4.gsb.columbia.edu/filemgr?&file_id=7314104 Definitely looking forward to reading his book.
augustabound Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Nice, I'm looking forward to this. September seems like a long time away. ;D
Liberty Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I saw him mention it on Twitter recently. Definitely on my list too!
Kraven Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 I am looking forward to this book. I see some advance copies have gone out since there are 2 reviews of it on Amazon.
peter1234 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Is there a kindle edition coming? Kindle can be pre-ordered now. http://www.amazon.com/Education-Value-Investor-Transformative-Enlightenment/dp/1137278811/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0 ;)

oddballstocks Posted August 26, 2014 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"
nkp007 Posted August 26, 2014 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" Another lesson in the power of incentives ;D
cubsfan Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 You guys are cruel! I'll be looking forward to your critical reviews.
Kraven Posted August 26, 2014 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!"
oddballstocks Posted August 26, 2014 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.

peter1234 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Why do all these people get to read it before us? ???
Valueguy134 Posted August 27, 2014 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.
manualofideas Posted August 29, 2014 Author 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 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.
merkhet Posted August 29, 2014 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.

augustabound Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Nothing really new here but David Merkel did a short interview with Guy. http://alephblog.com/2014/09/02/qa-with-guy-spier-of-aquamarine-capital/
