Superinvestors: The 20 traits of successful investors—and how you can apply them [9781804095249]

Overview

What separates the good investors from the super investors?

In Superinvestors, the answer is clear: to master trading you must first master yourself.

Wall Street veteran Jared Dillian challenges conventional financial wisdom that losing money in the markets is just bad luck. Through personal anecdotes, brutal honesty, and contrarian insights, Dillian reveals the powerful truth that becoming a great investor is not just about financial strategy, it is about mindset.

Drawing on nearly three decades of market experience, Dillian outlines the emotional and behavioural attributes that separate the masters from the amateurs. He argues super investors all share 20 common traits and psychological tendencies which are durable and repeatable over time, and consistently coincide with long-term profitability.

From emotional fitness and intellectual flexibility to the counterintuitive necessity of disagreeableness, these qualities are what truly separate the good from the great. This book serves as both a roadmap for investing excellence and an invitation to self-improvement.

Whether you are an aspiring trader or a seasoned pro, Superinvestors challenges you to look inward, cultivate the necessary character traits, and elevate your performance by becoming not just a better investor, but a better person.
