Killing the Market: Legendary Investor Robert W. Wilson

     

Author: Roemer McPhee

6.7/10

MAYBE

Before reading the book, I had no idea who Robert Wilson was. The guy was an investment phenomenon who managed to make a fortune by trading/investing, starting from a very small amount.

Here's the problem with the book: Roemer McPhee is not an investor and it shows. I don't blame the guy, if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have this book. 

The investment cases are presented decently, but we get very little intuition - it is up to the reader to try and get into the mind of Wilson.

READ IF: You like case studies on the various companies Wilson invested in

PASS IF: You want a clear-cut rationale and a "how-to" with explanations (spoiler alert: such a book doesn't exist)
