Big Money Thinks Small

Biases, Blind Spots, and Smarter Investing

By: Joel Tillinghast

Narrated by: Barry Abrams

Investors are tempted daily with misinformation. They make lucky bets that breed false confidence, and their high-stakes gambles can take an emotional toll. How can anyone stay focused in such a volatile profession?

In Big Money Thinks Small, veteran fund manager Joel Tillinghast urges investors to act cautiously and follow five primary steps to successful investing:

1. Know yourself
2. Make decisions based on your own knowledge
3. Select trustworthy and capable colleagues and collaborators
4. Avoid businesses that seem destined to fail
5. Always search for bargains

Patience and methodical planning will pay far greater dividends than rash, bold investments. Through sensible instruction, Tillinghast teaches listeners how to ask the right questions in any investing situation and think objectively and generatively about portfolio management.

Worth it despite some rambling

The book could have been shorter but there is valuable information in here for the individual value style investor, novice or expert in my opinion. Narrator is a little annoying at times but hey...

Great book on basic concepts of business/company stock valuation, and investing

This book offers a comprehensive view of proper stock, company, and business valuation, pricing, and investing approaches. Despite the basic concepts, I recommend the paper version for those without an accounting or finance background to better understand the mechanics described by the author.

Plain old good advice

Simplistic but worthy advice about investing. Lot of historical examples but you would have to piece together a stock picking strategy from it.
