Synopsis

Sir Johns philosophy of investing, which is built around the presumption that investors must have the courage and patience to ride out economic and market cycles, remains highly relevant today. In the aftermath of two of the most savage bear markets in living memory, which twice within a decade have seen stock markets around the world fall, peak to trough, by 50%, many investors remain shell-shocked and disillusioned by their losses. Had they followed a disciplined Templeton approach, we can show that they would not have fared anything like as badly as many did. Nor, certainly, would they have become so disheartened. John Templeton, a perennial optimist produced his best investment returns during and immediately after bear markets, underlining that success in investment is just as much about avoiding losses and preserving what you have gained, as it is about picking winners. The authors believe it is important for investors today to appreciate that the events of the past ten years, including the great global financial crisis of 2008-09, reinforce the importance of some fundamental truths about investment. One is that there are always opportunities to make money, even when no, particularly when ?] the outlook appears particularly gloomy.

Goodreads review by Tadas on May 15, 2017

Not bad, but basically common sense. Value investors say "buy cheap stock", common sense and no big analyses or models needed . Maybe you would win those few additional percents a year, maybe not. I;m not interested in such things, I want to crack randomness (e.g. unpredictable "short fluctuations")......more

Goodreads review by Dan on February 15, 2022

A brilliant investor and seeker of virtue…he brought investment innovations like the logic of risk reduction through geographic diversity and the creation of ‘cheap convexity’ in open-ended funds through the discipline of the ‘Yale Method’ while ultimately using his fortune to permanently endow a se......more

Astonishing Focus and Foresight of Sir John Templeton. He has thankfully shared his wisdom and experience. I heard the book on Audible while enjoying my walks. Nice narration. The book shares all the investment advise you are ever going to need in lifetime......more
