The inside story of the clash of two of Wall Street’s biggest, richest, toughest, most aggressive players – Carl Icahn and Bill Ackman – and Herbalife, the company caught in the middle. With their billions of dollars and their business savvy, activist investors Carl Icahn and Bill Ackman have the ability to move markets with the flick of a wrist.
But what happens when they run into the one thing in business they can’t control: In an oddball group of bankers, traders and brokers from some of the largest financial institutions made a startling realization: Libor – the London interbank offered rate, which determines the interest rates on trillions in loans worldwide – was set daily by a group of easily manipulated administrators, and they could reap huge profits by nudging it fractions of a percent to suit their trading portfolios.
This group generated incredible riches – until it all unraveled in spectacularly vicious, backstabbing fashion. Howard Marks, the chairman and cofounder of Oaktree Capital Management, is renowned for his insightful assessments of market opportunity and risk. After four decades spent ascending to the top of the investment management profession, he is today sought out by the world’s leading value investors, and his client memos brim with insightful commentary and a time-tested, fundamental philosophy.
The Most Important Thing explains the keys to successful investment and the pitfalls that can destroy capital or ruin a career. With 26 seconds remaining, and trailing by four at the Patriots’ one-yard line, he called for a pass instead of a handing off to his star running back. The pass was intercepted, and the Seahawks lost. Critics called it the dumbest play in history. But was the call really that bad? Or did Carroll actually make a great move that was ruined by bad luck?
Even the best decision doesn’t yield the best outcome every time. If you’re going to listen to one audiobook about Hollywood, this is the one. As co-founder of Creative Artists Agency CAAMichael Ovitz earned a reputation for ruthless negotiation, brilliant strategy and fierce loyalty to his clients. Why do smart people make irrational decisions every day? The answers will surprise you. Predictably Irrational is an intriguing, witty and utterly original look at why we all make illogical decisions.
Why can a 50p aspirin do what a 5p aspirin can’t? If an item is free, it must be a bargain, right? Why is everything relative, even when it shouldn’t be?
How do our expectations influence our actual opinions and decisions? In this astounding audiobook, behavioural economist Dan Ariely cuts to the heart of our strange behavior The full inside story of the breathtaking rise and shocking collapse of a multibillion-dollar start-up, by the prize-winning journalist who first broke the story and pursued it to the end.

Included are data and analysis covering the recent financial crisis and model performance through the end of The morning after Trump was elected president, the people who ran the US Department of Energy – an agency that deals with some of the most powerful risks facing humanity – waited to welcome the incoming administration’s transition team.
Across the US government, the same thing happened: People don’t notice when stuff goes right. That is the stuff government does. It manages everything that underpins our lives from funding free school meals, to policing rogue nuclear activity, to predicting extreme weather events. Thaler has spent his career studying the radical notion that the central agents in the economy are humans – predictable, error-prone individuals.
Misbehaving is his arresting, frequently hilarious account of the struggle to bring an academic discipline back down to earth – and change the way we think about economics, ourselves, and our world. The long-awaited follow-up to the global best-seller Liar’s Poker, The Big Short tells a story of spectacular, epic folly.
It has taken the world’s greatest financial meltdown to bring Michael Lewis back to the subject that made him famous. His international best seller Liar’s Poker exposed the greed and carnage of the City and Wall Street in the s; he wrote it as a cautionary tale, but people seem to have read it as a how-to guide.
Fooling Some of the People All of the Time, A Long Short by David Einhorn
Now, he wants to settle accounts. If you thought Wall Street was about alpha males standing in trading pits hollering at each other, think again.
That dafid is dead. Now, the world’s money is traded by computer code, inside black boxes in heavily guarded buildings. Even the experts entrusted with your cash don’t know what’s happening to it.
And the very few who do aren’t about to tell – because they’re making a killing. Having made the U. How exactly had it come to hit the rest of the world in the face davi Just how broke are we really?
Fooling Some of the People All of the Time, A Long Short by David Einhorn –
Boomerang is a tragi-comic romp across Europe, in which Lewis gives full vent to his storytelling genius. In this bold and potentially urgent volume, Robert J. Shiller, a respected expert on market volatility, offers an unconventional interpretation of recent U.
He tells us how we – as a society and individually – can respond. Hear an exclusive interview with Robert J. Well-known technology executive and angel investor Elad Gil has worked with high-growth tech companies like Airbnb, Twitter, Google, Instacart, Coinbase, Stripe, and Square as they’ve grown from small companies into global brands.
Across all of these break-out companies, a set of common patterns has evolved into a repeatable playbook that Gil has codified in High Growth Handbook. Author Tobias Carlisle combines engaging stories with research and data to show how you can do it too. Charlie Munger, Berkshire Hathaway’s visionary vice chairman and Warren Buffett’s indispensable financial partner, has outperformed market indexes again and again, and he believes any investor can do the same.
His notion of “elementary, worldly wisdom” – a set of interdisciplinary mental models involving economics, business, psychology, ethics, and management – allows him to keep his emotions out of his investments and avoid the common pitfalls of bad judgment.
InDavid Einhorn, the president of Greenlight Capital, gave a speech at a charity investment conference and was asked to share his best investment idea.
He described his reasons why Greenlight had sold short the shares of Allied Capital, a leader in the private finance industry.
What followed was a firestorm of controversy.
Allied responded with a Washington, D. Undeterred by the spin-job and lies, Greenlight continued its research after the speech and discovered Allied’s behavior was far worse than Einhorn ever suspected. Fooling Some of the People All of the Time is the gripping chronicle of this saga, and this edition contains foo,ing new updates from the author. Along the way, you’ll witness feckless regulators, compromised politicians, and the barricades our capital markets have erected against exposing misconduct from important Wall Street customers.
At its most basic level, Allied Capital is the story of Wall Street at its worst. But the story is much bigger than one little-known company. Fooling Some of the People All of the Time is an important call for effective law enforcement, free speech, and fair play.
A wonderful, albeit heavily detailed account, of Einhorn’s search for corporate justice. Given what has happened in the capital markets the past several years, it is easier now to understand the incompetence of regulators. Still, it is a little curious that Einhorn found so few takers of his perspective among what would have appeared to be unbiased professionals journalists, professors, investors.
Also disappointed how casually he dismissed the abusive and illegal tactics of naked short selling. But he does tell a convincing tale and one that should make us think every time we read a glowing account from a Wall Street analyst. My biggest disappointment was the absence of the epilogue that is included in the newly published book version. Since Allied hit the wall after the completion of this book, I was very much looking forward to hearing how the market finally caught on to the systematic fraud and deception.
It would be nice if Audible. I am very unsophisticated about the financial system. Since the Recession began I have comprehended small bits of what happened and who einohrn players are, but the picture is so big it’s overwhelming.
There is plenty of blame and finger-pointing to einhoorn around.
This ravid essentially the story of one man’s attempt to call attention to corporate criminal behavior and hold the felons accountable. However, it gave me a window into the workings of the financial system, its non-regulators, and the how fraud corrupts our political and financial system to threaten our way of life.
I also gained insite into the paralysis of government, and why our politicians have become so unrepentant about their corruption. The Sociopath Next Door because it explains institutional davjd clearly without einhoen talking down to the reader. Pushing readers out of their intellectual laziness without alienating them, when it’s so much easier to take spoon-feedings from those who have the most to gain by fooling them, is a challenge beyond the grasp of most writers.
Most forms of media try to reduce your concentration level, so foooling your attention and forcing you to work at understanding something complex, requires continually reminding foolint reader the information is important to them. Which character — as performed by L. Ganser — was your favorite? If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The Roman Empire with computers. I was depressed that our problems seem so unfixable, yet the writer’s unflagging optimism shines though. Hopefully, enough “smart people” will realize that winning by everyone else losing will ultimately erode the prey base so much they can’t survive either.
What made the experience of listening to Fooling Some of the People All of the Time the most enjoyable? This was an incredibly enjoyable book on all levels. You just have to admire the tenacity and intellect of Einhorn. It would have been the easy way out to cover the short on Allied and let it go, but he stuck with it as he had strong conviction. The amount of detail in his research is astounding. You have to hand it to Einhorn: He just did his homework better than anybody else.
A fascinating, frustrating, and frightening story for any individual investor. The fact that a public company could behave in such foolinh unethical way without any recourse for many fooliing should scare the pants off of anyone investing in public companies.
