Great but Impossible To Follow!

This subject matter is far too detailed and intense for an audiobook. You need to be sitting at your desk with a pen and paper making notes. No good for listening to in the car or when out for a walk etc.
The content is awesome - I just went old school and brought the book as well. Its way easier to highlight, re read, refer to illustrations etc. Dont bother with the audiobook.

Best Investing Book I’ve Found

I’ve listened to or read probably every other investing book that gets recommended to everyone—from Value Investing like Buffet to Index investing like Bogle. The books range from decent but essentially useless with a takeaway of “buy a cheap index fund.” A Random Walk Down Wall Street and Common Sense Investing are the big ones here.

The Intelligent Investor for value investing, Buffets Annual Letters, etc. These are decent but outdated and require a hefty amount of luck.

I’ve even read tangentially related books like Black Swan and the Man Who Solved the Market. This is the first book out of any of these books which gives any actionable information other than “buy cheap stocks” or “buy an index fund.”

What a cheap stock is becomes debatable and essentially down to luck. Buying SPY or QQQ are not bad advice but this book gives actual methods you can use to “implement” the trades that every other book says you should be doing and walks you through his actual methods. If you’re looking for a book to listen to in the car this likely isn’t a good one though. You really need to have charts and indicators pulled up so you can test and see what they are talking about.

One of the most practical trading books out there.

This is actually a very practical techical anaylsis trading book with different setups. A good deal of trading psyhology as well. To get the best out of this book, listen while having the pdf in front of you. Highly recommended even for experienced traders.
