About this listen
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')
Howard Marks's Mastering the Market Cycle is a must-read, because the cycles covered in this book are important and because Howard is one of the investing greats of his generation. (Ray Dalio, Co-Chief Investment Officer and Co-Chairman, Bridgewater Associates, 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)
The book beautifully illustrates how things move from cold to warm, from excess to correction, and then to opportunity. This ebb and flow isn’t just about stocks or bonds—it reflects a universal truth: everything is cyclical, but cycles are not static. They don’t repeat exactly; rather, as Marks puts it, “history rhymes.” This insight alone is worth the read. It teaches us that while we can’t predict the future with precision, we can prepare for it by recognizing where we are in the cycle.
What I found particularly enlightening is the idea that cycles are progressive. Each phase builds upon the last, nudging us forward—not in a straight line, but in a spiral that carries the past into the present. This perspective encourages humility, patience, and a long-term view—qualities that are as valuable in life as they are in investing.
In a world obsessed with short-term gains and instant gratification, Mastering the Market Cycle is a timely reminder that understanding the forces of change is more powerful than trying to outguess them. It’s a book I’ll return to often, not just for financial wisdom, but for its broader philosophical depth.
