Investing can be a rollercoaster of highs and lows, and the investors detailed here show just how low it can go; stories from Warren Buffet, Bill Ackman, Chris Sacca, Jack Bogle, Mark Twain, John Maynard Keynes, and many more illustrate the simple but overlooked concept that investing is really hard, whether you're managing a few thousand dollars or a few billion, failures and losses are part of the game. Much more than just anecdotal diversion, these stories set the basis for the book's critical focus: learning from mistakes. These investors all recovered from their missteps, and moved forward armed with a wealth of knowledge than can only come from experience. Lessons learned through failure carry a weight that no textbook can convey, and in the case of these legendary investors, informed a set of skills and strategy that propelled them to the top. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResearch-heavy and grounded in realism, this book is a must-read for any investor looking to maximize their chances of success. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn the most common ways even successful investors fail\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn from the mistakes of the greats to avoid losing ground\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnticipate challenges and obstacles, and develop an advance plan\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExercise caution when warranted, and only take the smart risks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile learning from your mistakes is always a valuable experience, learning from the mistakes of others gives you the benefit of wisdom without the consequences of experience. \u003ci\u003eBig Mistakes: The Best Investors and Their Worst Investments\u003c\/i\u003e provides an incomparable, invaluable resource for investors of all stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMICHAEL BATNICK\u003c\/b\u003e is the director of Research at Ritholtz Wealth Management.
