About this listen

 A NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER

The legendary investor shows how to identify and master the cycles that govern the financial markets.

"A MUST-READ" Ray Dalio, bestselling author of Principles and Co-Chief Investment Officer and Co-Chairman, Bridgewater Associates

"WHEN I SEE MEMOS FROM HOWARD MARKS IN MY MAIL, THEY'RE THE FIRST THING I OPEN AND READ" Warren Buffett

"HOWARD IS A LEGENDARY INVESTOR" Tony Robbins

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 investing results.

Critic Reviews

Mastering the Market Cycle is a must-read (Ray Dalio, author of 'Principles')

I always say, 'There's no better teacher than history in determining the future.' Howard's book tells us how to learn from history . . . and thus get a better idea of what the future holds. (Charlie Munger, Vice Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway)
Howard Marks, among the world's most successful investment managers as well as an intellectual leader of the profession [has written a new book]. Mastering the Market Cycle is...wise...A careful reading can make us better investors and protect us from the all too frequent errors that ruin investment results.
While most investment professionals take the standard out - that 'you can't time the market' - in Mastering the Market Cycle Howard Marks, a living investment legend, takes the contrarian point of view that not only can you time markets, but it's imperative that you do so. (Bill Gurley, General Partner, Benchmark)
Mastering the Market Cycle reveals how cycles not only coincide with, but also cause, financial market risk and opportunity. Written in plain English, Howard Marks's hard-earned wisdom will help readers tilt the odds in their favor. (Jeffrey Gundlach, Founder, DoubleLine Capital)
If you're uncertain as to whether there will be a correction in the market - or if you think there's no reason to worry because 'it's different this time' - you have to read this book before you make a move. (Carl C. Icahn, Chairman, Icahn Enterprises)
