Book • 2012
In this book, Howard Marks compiles his memos into 19 key concepts for successful investing.
He stresses the importance of second-level thinking, which involves considering not just the obvious but also the less apparent implications of investment decisions.
Marks emphasizes risk management, noting that good times often teach bad lessons about risk and that successful investing requires a disciplined and adaptive approach.
He also discusses the concept of value investing, highlighting that buying assets at a price below their intrinsic value is a reliable path to investment profit.
The book underscores the need for contrarian thinking and the ability to act against the consensus to achieve above-average returns.
