Reseña del editor

A rousing and practical look at the extremely successful investments of top investors In his first book, The Billion Dollar Mistake, author Stephen L. Weiss showcased the biggest blunders of some of the world's legendary investors which lost them billions of dollars on a single investment. Incredibly, the mistakes they made were the same mistakes made by everyday investors but for the magnitude of the loss. Weiss's second book, The Big Win: Learning from the Legends to Become a More Successful Investor, highlights financial successes, explaining how the world's most successful investors make a fortune and how you can do the same. As with the missteps Weiss profiled in his first book, the strategies used by these legendary investors are available to all, regardless of size or sophistication. * Profiles legendary investors and highlights their investment strategies from finding the right investment to researching to making a move * Probes each investor's personality and questions their investment thinking * Identifies and describes each investor's "big win" and why it became their most successful investment The Big Win is a primer on successful investing the way it is really done by the people who do it for a living passionately and with extraordinary success. The Billion Dollar Mistake told readers what not to do to get rich; The Big Win shows readers how to do it right for the payoff of their lives.

Praise for The Big Win

"If you want to create wealth, understand how the smartest investors in the world do it. And to learn from the best, then get the best to speak candidly about their investment strategies. That's what Stephen Weiss did in The Big Win, a truly fascinating read that details these legendary investors' winning strategies in stocks, bonds, and real estate."
—Larry Kudlow, Host of CNBC's The Kudlow Report

"Winning . . . that's what Steve Weiss's The Big Win is all about. I have always thought that we can best succeed by learning from the best. And The Big Win—written in a straightforward and easily readable style—chronicles winners in varied fields who have demonstrated a similarity of drive, passion, process, equanimity, discipline, and humility in reaching rarefied heights that should serve as templates for anyone intent on becoming extraordinary."
—Douglas A. Kass, General Partner, Seabreeze Partners Management, Inc.

"Winners win. Stephen Weiss gets that because he's done it at the highest level of this game. His sell-side (Salomon Brothers) and buy-side (SAC Capital) experience contextualizes making successful investing a repeatable process."
—Keith McCullough, CEO, Hedgeye; author, Diary of a Hedge Fund Manager

"Mr. Weiss has written an introduction to alternative investments that has the very best—and very rarest—qualities of business writing, in that his book is educational, entertaining, and accessible all at the same time. Newcomers to the field of non-traditional investment styles will not be intimidated; while seasoned pros may well find new stories here that they can reflect upon to their profit."
—Alicia Ogawa, financial consultant; Senior Advisor, Center on Japanese Economy and Business, Columbia Business School
