The Big Win: Learning from the Legends to Become a More Successful Investor Learning from the Legends to Become a More Successful Investor

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.

The Big Win is a follow up to the authors first book: The Billion Dollar Mistake: Learning the Art of Investing through the Missteps of Legendary Investors.  The Big Win will be the companion piece, focusing on extremely successful investments instead of spectacular failures. Each chapter begins with the inspiring life story of an extremely accomplished financier and their path to success, opening a window onto a personality that is inextricably linked to their investment style and, ultimately, the manner in which they cope with the loss of billions. The chapters continue on with a complete discussion of a trade that went far astray and concludes with lessons for the reader to follow so that they dont commit the same costly errors. Most importantly, each mistake is, in essence, incredibly common; they are mistakes committed by average investors, the only difference being in the magnitude of the loss.  The Big Win is a very different type of investment book- it is both entertaining and a primer on successful investing.
