Where the Money Is

Value Investing in the Digital Age

Adam Seessel

In this book, Adam Seessel introduces a refreshed value-based framework for investing in the tech-dominated stock market. He argues that traditional value investing metrics, such as price-to-earnings ratios, may not accurately reflect the true value of technology companies due to their unique business models and growth potential. Seessel provides insights into how tech companies generate profits, the importance of understanding financial statements, and the need for a dynamic approach to value investing. The book is designed to help both professional and amateur investors navigate the modern market and profit from technological changes.

How the World's Greatest Investors Win in Markets and Life

William Green

In Richer, Wiser, Happier, William Green draws on interviews conducted over twenty-five years with many of the world’s greatest investors. The book highlights that the most successful investors are mavericks and iconoclasts who question conventional wisdom and think rationally, rigorously, and objectively. They maximize their odds of long-term success in markets and life by drawing insights from diverse fields such as neuroscience, economic history, psychology, philosophy, and more. Green explains how these investors can teach us not only how to become rich but also how to improve our thinking, decision-making, risk assessment, and resilience, and how to turn uncertainty to our advantage.
