Investment as a single word signals prudence, care , due diligence and rewards. For anyone looking for intimate conversations with some of the masters, this is well worth your time.

Here Rubenstein interviews legends in the investing world with a diversity of investment types (private equity, leveraged buyouts, alterantive investments). The view of investing is largely aspiration and from a summary level view. Retail investors looking for strategy would probably be better off watching technical vidoes. But there is something to be said for conversations with those who exceled. There's a lot to learn about risk, honesty, humulity, luck, and hunger.

There's certainly a lot of ground covered here. Legendary stories about Soros taking on the pound, Buffett's shadow across fundamental analysis, the growth of private equity and leveraged buyouts, adjusting to the pandemic, the 2008 housing market crash. Patterns emerge of course, but it truly is inspiring to consider all the ways people analyze and approach financial investments.

My only real complaint is the lack of fintech discussion. Technology has played a massive role in changing the interactions between investors and advisors. High frequency trading, apps like Robinhood, meme stocks, and educational tutorials to wider audiences has changed retail investing.

Great interviews here - woudl recommend continuing these conversations. Ray Dailio has some wonderful content on youtube, along with his conversations/book about "Principals". Many others here Jon Gray, Dawn Fitzpatrick, John Paulson (huge get!) and Ron Baron

Not a good book for people wanting to get a basic understanding of investing. Great for sampling
