Chào Tiki, cuốn sách nội dung rất tốt nhưng giao cho tôi là một cuốn sách cũ đã được bọc lại rất nhiều lỗi lem luốc mà phải đọc dần dần mới gặp. Tôi chưa đọc hết mới 1/5 đã gặp khá nhiều. Mong Tiki cẩn trọng trong việc bán hàng vì đây là sách mới giá mới. Review từ độc giả bui van hung If you’re a long-term investor, you should just buy and hold equities. And the best place to have bought and hold equities has been the US for the last couple of hundred years.” One day I noticed two huge pieces of Styrofoam that looked as if they could be worn like snowshoes. Claude said they were water shoes that enabled him to “walketh upon the water,” in this case the Mystic Lake in front of his house One of those unique minds who combined amazing innate math abilities with a flair for practical implications, Thorpe would enjoy decades of results that even earned the respect of Warren Buffet. Thorpe dives into any number of related topics including his own tale of spotting the Madoff fraud 20 years before it came to light....noone listened to him either. There’s an old saying, ‘Give a person a fish and they eat for a day; teach a person to fish and they eat for a lifetime.’ And it’s a similar thing for thinking. If you give somebody advice about a problem, they might solve that one problem. If you teach them how to think about problems, they can solve problems for the rest of their life.”

He was the only one of the family to survive what Francois Maurois, in his introduction, calls the "human holocaust" of the persecution of the Jews, which began with the restrictions, the singularization of the yellow star, the enclosure within the ghetto, and went on to the mass deportations to the ovens of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. There are unforgettable and horrifying scenes here in this spare and sombre memoir of this experience of the hanging of a child, of his first farewell with his father who leaves him an inheritance of a knife and a spoon, and of his last goodbye at Buchenwald his father's corpse is already cold let alone the long months of survival under unconscionable conditions. If you are a professor, never ever agree to become the head of the department. Thorp's stories are horrifying (though they jibe with what I've seen): nasty infighting, absenteeism, zero accountability. The author is an extraordinarily talented and successful person. He is a brilliant theoretician who can justifiably lay claim to a handful of good mathematical theories. He is also a good investor. He has led an interesting life, particularly when he was taking on the casinos. The author has a life story that needs to be recorded for the rest of us. Yet, the way he describes it makes it unbearably one-sided and as if coming from a person too much in love with himself. Pondering a conversation between Joseph Heller and Kurt Vonnegut and other parting thoughts. [1:26:37] Born in Iowa in 1898, my father, Oakley Glenn Thorp, was the second of three children, with his brother two years older and sister two years younger. When he was six his family broke up. His father took him and his brother to settle in the state of Washington. His mother and sister remained in Iowa. In 1915 my grandfather died from the flu, three years before the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918–19, which killed between twenty and forty million people worldwide. The two boys lived with an uncle until 1917. Then my father, at age eighteen, went to France to join World War I as part of the great American Expeditionary Force. He fought with the infantry in the trenches, rose from private to sergeant, and was awarded the Bronze Star, the Silver Star, and two Purple Hearts for heroism in places like Château-Thierry, Belleau Wood, and the Battles of the Marne. As a very small boy I remember sitting in his lap on a humid afternoon examining the shrapnel scars on his chest and the minor mutilation of some of his fingers.Though we were poor, my parents valued books and managed to buy me one occasionally. My father made challenging choices. As a result, between the ages of five and seven I carried around adult-looking books and strangers wondered if I actually knew what was in them. One man put me to an unexpected and potentially embarrassing test. In A Man for All Markets, [Thorp] delightfully recounts his progress (if that is the word) from college teacher to gambler to hedge-fund manager. Along the way we learn important lessons about the functioning of markets and the logic of investment." -- The Wall Street Journal How did finance and investing enter the picture for Edward? Where did this lead, and who did he meet along the way? [25:19]

I've come to believe very strongly that any knowledge that cannot be used in the real world is useless. Application of knowledge to solve real world problems - for individualistic gain or otherwise - satiates our desire to exist. As Munger says, we have a high moral responsibility to understand human systems and act rationally. In this regard, Thorp's autobiography is an illustrative guide to finding meaning in life - not through spirituality, but through curiosity and application of the inquisitive mind to understand the world around it.

Tax Notes сообщал, что между 1973 и 2007 годами доходы (с учетом инфляции) верхних 0,01 % американских семей увеличились в 8,58 раза, в то время как прирост доходов нижних 90 % составил около 8 долларов в год! В следующем десятилетии это неравенство стало еще большим. Одна из основных причин того, что вершина пирамиды получает такое огромное богатство, – это сложные проценты. chất lượng giấy oknôi dung cho thấy một cách nhìn khá hay về đầu tư Review từ độc giả Nguyen Quoc Viet

Người mới bắt đầu nên tìm hiểu các khái niệm để hiểu rõ hơn cách thức đầu tư của Edward Thorp Review từ độc giả Dương Hiển MinhAlthough I listened to it as an audiobook, I "couldn't put it down", so to speak. Engaging autobiographical story about Ed Thorp. I liked that he spent the first part of his book laying down how his core values and how he perceives the world. It helped in building the world that he lived in, and explained the things that happened to him later in his life.
