Synopsis

The empowering story of Larry Hite’s unlikely rise to the top of the hedge fund world-with critical insights and lessons you can take to the bank

In The Rule, legendary trader and hedge fund pioneer Larry Hite recounts his working-class upbringing in Brooklyn as a dyslexic, partially blind kid who was anything but a model student-and how he went on to found and run Mint Investment Management Company, one of the most profitable and largest quantitative hedge funds in the world.

Hite’s wild success is based on his deep understanding that markets are flawed-just like people. Through his early-life struggles and failures, Hite came to know himself well-his fears, his frustrations, his self-doubt, and his tolerance for all of the above. This motivational book reveals that by accepting the facts of his life and of himself, he was able to accept markets as they are. And that was the key to his success.

In these pages, you’ll walk of the footsteps of an investing legend, who imparts smart, practical trading lessons throughout the journey. Making a successful living in trading isn’t about beating the markets. It’s about meeting markets where they are, embracing the fact of risk, knowing yourself, and playing it strictly by the numbers.

The Rule shows that investing decisions are not only bets or gambles, but investments in time, energy, and attention. By focusing on realistic returns on your investments-versus what you expect or hope to get-you immediately improve your probability for success.

Larry is a successful trader, but the book is way too simple. Simply put, cut loss and let winner runs. It gets too exaggerated when one say this can apply as life rule. And honestly, it is not necessary to keep emphasing his shortcomings and today's success. It feels like there's too much bragging.......more

Great read Larry could teach a gambler how to gamble and a trader how to trade. Preaching risk the way he did in this book was good and something I’d reread / relisten to......more

Goodreads review by Victor on July 12, 2022

Larry Hite's autobiography tells the story of a true market wizard who, as young man, most wrote off due to his poor eyesight, dyslexia, and clumsiness. It's a story of optimism and grit by one who ingeniously used his natural limitations as sources of strength. Hite became so accustomed to failure......more

Goodreads review by Tony on May 17, 2020

Larry is arguably one of the most successful/original trend follower. In this book he details his shortfalls as well as his philosophy towards trading and life in general. He emphasised "cutting your losers short, letting your winners run" in almost every pages of the book. Also, he related this ada......more
