Über diesen Titel

Hailed by the New York Times Book Review as "the best book there is about the stock market," this timeless classic by the creator and host of the Emmy Award-winning TV show Adam Smith's Money World is still relevant more than 40 years later.

This essential book takes listeners to the Street to learn about the intricacies of money and how the stock market impacts every area of our lives. According to the author, the key to making wise, lucrative investments is knowing ourselves. In witty, easily accessible language, he shares pithy insights about the role of intuition and the psychology of guilt, arguing that there is no substitute for information. Smith's Irregular Rules shatter common myths and misconceptions, revealing why nothing works all the time and illustrating how greed and fear fuel the market. Listeners will learn about the safest types of investing, the key to following market trends, and how to capitalize growth, gleaning tips on stock movers, winners and losers, and much more. Peppered with entertaining and prescient anecdotes, The Money Game analyzes who makes the really big money and explores the meaning of our desire to become rich. From selling short and buying long to Wall Street's crowd mentality, from what constitutes a random walk to why timing is everything, this is the definitive portrait of the Street, then and now.

We have all met those who are either clever or smart. Clever wishes to be smart, but will never be. Smart only wishes to be SMARTER and thus has no time for clever... unless they are bored. The author of this book was bored, and there is nothing worse than a bored intellectual who writes about a complicated subject. He keeps his points vague, for amusement sake, like saying "moisture falling from the sky" instead of simply calling it rain.... because he is bored.

This book does however have a few redeeming qualities. If you are somewhat knowledgeable in the subject, it does shed light on the "gaming" side of financial markets. I caught myself smiling every so often. It adds perspective (if you can tolerate the "cleverness of expression" within it), to the dynamics behind the people within the markets.

All in all, it was informative. That alone was entertaining enough to continue, (labor) through it. I suppose I should have expected as such seeing the name, ADAM SMITH, hearing the author mentioning he was borrowing the name, then leaving the subject behind for the remainder of the book.

Clever?

What do you get when intelligence meets boredom?
