What are you presently reading?

I would definitely give it a recommendation for a read. Even if you're a boomer and not into crypto assets.

I would like to someday finish reading all of Lewis' books. Though I know this one is his most controversial, as SBF has so many haters right now.

I think my most unliked Lewis book is Moneyball. Though technically, I didn't read the book, only watched the movie. But I found it extremely boring (I hate baseball), and there wasn't much anything at all in there pertaining to hedge funds as I had thought from reading the backstory.

I had found 'Flashboys' very educational and entertaining. Though, at the time some considered it his most flawed book.

That is his one book I didn't read, although I also watched the movie. I liked the movie, though. Okay, I might put his latest book on my reading list. For entertainment value, of course. :)
 
Here's one for you:

:D

No, I didn't read it, but the title is catchy.
 
I have not read 'When Genius Failed' yet. But I have read Hedge Hogs, and loved that one very much. Will probably give it a re-read again in the future sometime.

As for tonight, I read up to p. ~270 of The Wolf of Investing. I do find myself still bursting out laughing every hour or so at something in this book:


-- you put 100 percent of your investment capital into the Nasdaq Composite Index on March 1, 2000, which was two weeks before the dot-com bubble burst. Why would you do this? Well, for starters, you had no way of knowing this would happen, especially with ass-clowns like Jim Cramer telling you to go all in, because it was a raging bull market with no end in sight.

And now you're screwed! Fucked over! Left hung out to dry!

Within a month, the market is sinking like a stone and it keeps right on sinking. Pretty soon, the pundits on CBNC are changing their tune, saying how the party is over, and it's the beginning of a ferocious bear market. Even more infuriating, the chief ass-clown himself, Jim Cramer, is pretending like he never told you to go all in last month, and now he's changed his tune, saying how investors like you would be far better served to be sitting on the sidelines for a while because things are looking very dicey out there. But you can't. You're already all in because you followed this asshole's advice!

Lately, reading INDEX of a W Buffet gift book with about 5-7 Charlie Munger quotes in it.
BUT that gift book was so off-so much in some insurance co comments, I don't want to name it.
Some have nicknamed him the Bear, his more common nickname is General Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf;
Auto Bio book written with Peter Petre of Fortune Magazine.
Good war winner .:caution::caution:
 
There is one new book on Hedge Funds I haven't read yet, but have on my waiting list. 25 weeks!

It's the one by Rob Copeland, 'The Fund' which is very critical of Dalio. However, Dalio has... pointed out some things in his own defence, mentioning Copeland not only is an impulsive liar, but also was rejected from Bridgewater when Copeland applied for hire (doh!).

I bookmarked the point in this recent interview where shit gets interesting.
