Publisher's Summary
The legendary investor shows how to identify and master the cycles that govern the markets.
We all know markets rise and fall, but when should you pull out, and when should you stay in? The answer is never black or white, but is best reached through a keen understanding of the reasons behind the rhythm of cycles. Confidence about where we are in a cycle comes when you learn the patterns of ups and downs that influence not just economics, markets and companies, but also human psychology and the investing behaviors that result.
If you study past cycles, understand their origins and remain alert for the next one, you will become keenly attuned to the investment environment as it changes. You’ll be aware and prepared while others get blindsided by unexpected events or fall victim to emotions like fear and greed.
By following Marks’s insights - drawn in part from his iconic memos over the years to Oaktree’s clients - you can master these recurring patterns to have the opportunity to improve your results.
Cover design by Mark R. Robinson.

Good review on market cycles...
Is a good review and narration on market cycles you should come away with a few insights more than you went in with from a person who has distilled years of real experience and success into something that can be thought. However there are many ..many times I thought how many ways can you explain the same thing over and over in different words . Well there is a lot of ways it turns out . So the message gets old and repetitive as it goes on and in the end your left with just generalities . Ultimately you will need to pay attention and find your own indicators to help you with real world cycles

For someone who is still fairly new to investing and finance this book as a little over my head to just listen to. I listen while driving and I found jt was hard to follow at times due to the depth of the content, but overall a very good flow to the book and solid ideas that make sense. I need to take a look at the associated graphics. Still new to audible

I read this book in 2019
This book was very valuable for me. I read it as I was getting into investment, and then the covid crisis happened in the stock market. With the knowledge armed from it I was confident enough to go all in as the market was going down, and it was very financially rewarding. You may know the theory of buy low during a crisis and sell high, but books like this help reinforce your mind and shield you from panic, as a crisis happens and things unfold you remember that yes you were told that this is how it goes, and you should invest anyway.

Overall good.
Like other reviews have said, yes, it's quite repetitive.
Marks continuously repeats, with varying examples, market cycles.
A section on intro to economics - Marks does an OK job explaining, but I recommend reading How an Economy Rises and Why it falls by Schiff to better understand economics.
Mark covers the 2007 US recession caused by mortgage backed securities in detail. He has been through many, many market cycles and is able to provide solid examples and feedback.
Being a millennial who (unfortunately?) participated in the cryptocurrency craze, this book offers good grounding in investing.
If you're just beginning in the investing world - it's def a decent read.

Cycles : nothing new!
If your reading this book to understand cycles then move on. 1. Superficial history of the last 40 years in the market. 2. Buy at extreme lows. 3. Position your portfolio in a defensive posture at extreme highs. 3. Psychology is very important.
That’s it!! Also the author is very smart- went to great schools. Few interesting quotes. I learned nothing!!

Even though the main premise of the book will be useful to you, the content is way too repetitive. I would have given it 5 stars if this was a short one hour book packed with wisdom. In this format I had to abandon it couple of hours before it ended.

I was expecting more
Howard Marks kept repeating the concept of cycle over and over in this book. It's all common sense, really. He then listed out few anecdotes of how they perceived the bottom of the cycle in the past. Unfortunately, the whole book lacks substance and I really couldn't get much out of it. Everything he's been talking about is just common sense and he is not able to articulate the details of his execution strategies and how to handle different situations. This book should only be 1 hour long. Please skip this book and read Ray Dalio's new book "Big Debt Crises". The PDF version is FREE on his site.

Too many repetitions
The content of the book is actually good, and I think Mr Marks just wants to stress his points, but it ends up appearing way too repetitive.
The points boils down to valuation / psychology.

Excellent Book, highly recommended.
Excellent book on investing must read/listen. If not the very best from all I've read or listened to, than in the top 3 for sure.
Mr Howard Marks is an excellent writer; methodical, logical, clear, intelligent and very knowledgeable. Also narration is great, as close as it gets to perfect in my opinion.
This is my second book from Mr. Marks and both of them are 10+ for my needs and capacities to learn and understand investing.
Highly recommend. Neven Corak
