The Most Important Thing - Howard Marks

[Guest notorious546]

I want to buy the book. Should I get the regular or illuminated edition? Are the annotations insightful or did it distract you?

 

I liked them, there is no downside in getting the illuminated edition.

;)

 

what does illuminated mean exactly?

[eclecticvalue]

It has annotations in them. It supposed to illuminate the readers what the different passages mean.

Good read!

 

Reinforced my belief in patience & being confidently contrary (requires drawing unpopular conclusions which turn out to be correct or at least eventually perceived as correct by later market participants.)

 

Got me to thinking about adding probability distributions (my untutored & probably simplistic version) to try & transorm the unexpected into the "oh crap; I thought about that but didn't believe it'd actually happen..."

I ordered this book today. [On saxo.com.] As always, based on comments about books here on CoBF, I'm looking forward to the read.

Good choice. This book makes you want to buy more Berkshire without actually telling you to do so.
