The Art of Execution

How the World's Best Investors Get It Wrong and Still Make Millions

By: Lee Freeman-Shor

Narrated by: RJ Malyk

Over seven years, 45 of the world's top investors were given between $25 million and $150 million to invest by fund manager Lee Freeman-Shor. His instructions were simple. There was only one rule. They could invest in only their 10 best ideas to make money.

It seemed like a foolproof plan to make a lot of money. What could possibly go wrong? These were some of the greatest minds at work in the markets today - from top European hedge fund managers to Wall Street legends.

But most of the investors' great ideas actually lost money. Shockingly, a toss of a coin would have been a better method of choosing whether or not to invest in a stock.

Nevertheless, despite being wrong most of the time, many of these investors still ended up making a lot of money.

How could they be wrong most of the time and still be profitable?

The answer lay in their hidden habits of execution, which until now have only been guessed at from the outside world.

This audiobook lays bare those secret habits for the first time, explaining them with real-life data, case studies, and stories taken from Freeman-Shor's unique position of managing these investors on a day-to-day basis.

A riveting listen for investors of every level, this audiobook shows you exactly what to do and what not to do when your big idea is losing or winning - and demonstrates conclusively why the most important thing about investing is always the art of execution.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Beginners guide to success

The author did a good job at laying out the difference between all of the investing personalities and showing appropriate case studies to back his data. This is a great approach for individuals that want to get into long term investing or trading. I stated beginner in the outset because I think it's good to start off with good habits rather than learning through self-sabotage and financial heartache. why not start off by moving in the correct direction like this author plainly lays out? I really enjoyed this title and highly recommend.

Waste of time

“How to Make Nothing Into a Book” should be a title, thank you Sherlock Holmes's

Below expectations

Has some good insights but kind of disappointing. Esp about selling winners too soon. Investing often is more art than science. Author only offered examples when an investor could have realized more gains had he or she not sold winner too soon. But there are ample examples when an investor held on to winners expecting further gains only to see the opposite.

Great concepts for understanding entry and exit strategies

Succinct and concrete info presented in this book. Highly recommend listening. To it today. Yes but it

Excellent Information

Although the book doesn't describe it this way, but basically the book talks about the enormous importance of exits and position sizing in investing and trading...2 concepts rarely talked about but are the real secrets to success.
