Story
In March 2006, the world's richest men sipped champagne in an opulent New York hotel. They were preparing to compete in a poker tournament with Âmillion-dollar stakes. At the card table that night was Peter Muller, who managed a fabulously successful hedge fund called PDT. With him was Ken Griffin, who was the tough-as-nails head of Citadel Investment Group. There, too, were Cliff Asness, the founder of the hedge fund AQR Capital Management, and Boaz Weinstein, king of the credit-default swap.

Story
In Super Bowl XLIX, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made one of the most controversial calls in football history: With 26 seconds remaining, and trailing by four at the Patriots' one-yard line, he called for a pass instead of a handing off to his star running back. The pass was intercepted, and the Seahawks lost. Critics called it the dumbest play in history. But was the call really that bad? Or did Carroll actually make a great move that was ruined by bad luck? Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Edwin Lefevre was a stockbroker and an independent investor, as well as a novelist and writer of short stories. This lightly fictionalized account of the career of stock speculator Jesse Livermore was first published in 1923. Now, nearly 100 years later, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator remains highly recommended for an understanding of investment. Lefevre’s trading advice and analyses of market price movements are as relevant today as in 1923.

John Paulson, a softly spoken hedge-fund manager who still took the bus to work, seemed unlikely to stake his career on one big gamble. But he did - and The Greatest Trade Ever is the story of how he realised that the sub-prime housing bubble was going to burst, making $15 billion for his fund and more than $4 billion for himself in a single year. It's a tale of folly and wizardry, individual brilliance versus institutional stupidity.

Reluctant to remain in Hungary until either the Nazis or the Soviets took over, he fled at the age of 23 with a forged exit visa and 50 pounds sterling to stave off hunger in Istanbul, Turkey. During his off hours, he read some 200 books on the market and speculators, studying as much as eight hours a day. Darvas invested his money into some of stocks that had been hitting their 52-week high. He was surprised that the stocks continued to rise and subsequently sold them to make a large profit.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Shortlisted for Theft and Mckinsey business book of the year award 2019
The first and fascinating look into the mind of Jim Simons, the shy billionaire who revolutionised Wall Street.
Jim Simons is the greatest moneymaker in modern financial history. His record bests those of legendary investors, including Warren Buffett, George Soros and Ray Dalio. Yet Simons and his strategies are shrouded in mystery. The financial industry has long craved a look inside Simons's secretive hedge fund, Renaissance Technologies and veteran Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman delivers the goods.
After a legendary career as a mathematician and a stint breaking Soviet codes, Simons set out to conquer financial markets with a radical approach. Simons hired physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists - most of whom knew little about finance - to amass piles of data and build algorithms hunting for the deeply hidden patterns in global markets. Experts scoffed, but Simons and his colleagues became some of the richest in the world, their strategy of creating mathematical models and crunching data embraced by almost every industry today.
As Renaissance became a major player in the financial world, its executives began exerting influence on other areas. Simons became a major force in scientific research, education and Democratic politics, funding Hilary Clinton's presidential campaign. While senior executive Robert Mercer is more responsible than anyone else for the Trump presidency - he placed Steve Bannon in the campaign, funded Trump's victorious 2016 effort and backed alt-right publication Breitbart. Mercer also impacted the success of the Brexit campaign as he made significant investments in Cambridge Anatlytica. For all his prescience, Simons failed to anticipate how Mercer's activity would impact his firm and the world.
In this fast-paced narrative, Zuckerman examines how Simons launched a quantitative revolution on Wall Street and reveals the impact that Simons, the quiet billionaire king of the quants, has had on worlds well beyond finance.

Shockingly poor!
I had high hopes from this being shortlisted for a business book of the year. This is shockingly poor. I non fiction work has to educate or entertain and this one does neither. Not only are there any insights into why Renaissance is so successful, after reading the book you don't get any sense of Jim Simons as a person or investor or even what his role was in Renaissance's success. There is a lot of guff about Robert Mercer's political activities - who the f cares! I really had to struggle to finish it. Please avoid like the plague!

Great insight into the history of Renaissance
This is my first book through Audible and its a great way to read books during travel. I've managed to complete this book in less than 10 days while driving. I think I have found a way to read 2-3 books a month.
Coming to the book, it has been a great introduction about the history of the firm. It has chronicled the entire journey of the firm. I wasn't expecting any trade strategies but even without them, I think this is a must read or listen!

Not enough insights into Renaissance
The author starts the book by saying how secretive Renaissance is and that not many people were willing to speak to him. This is apparent in the book: 85% is about the people who are/have been part of the organisation. The backstory of these people is relevant, but starts to bore after a while. The really interesting gems of how Renaissance works are left uncovered, so that the reader is left without much new knowledge of how this secretive quant hedge fund operates and makes money.

A fantastic story well narrated.
The secretive Renaissance Medallion fund and its founder Jim Simmons have been at the forefront of the quantitative investing revolution, but this story is as much about the people involved as it is about the investment strategy. The influence in the fields of maths, machine learning, education, politics, speech recognition and world events such as Brexit and the Trump 2016 by Renaissance current and former employees is staggering.
The narration is excellent, capturing a rich tone in telling a fascinating story.
