Product Information

Praise for The Dao of Capital "A timely, original, righteconomic principles and historybased approach to investing. Drawing on impressive philosophical building blocks, The Dao of Capital illuminates the wellsprings of capital creation, innovation and economic progress. Dazzling!" Steve Forbes, Chairman and EditorinChief, Forbes Media "This is a magnificent, scintillating book that I will read over and over again. Every page is eyeopening, with numerous areas for testing and profits in every chapter. Here's an unqualified, total, heartfelt recommendation, which coming from me is a rarity, and possibly unique." Victor Niederhoffer, Author of The Education of a Speculator " The Dao of Capital is an impressive work. Spitznagel's approach is refreshing scholarly without being tedious. What a broad look at economic history it provides!" Byron Wien, Vice Chairman, Blackstone Advisory Partners LP "Wall Street gamblers who believe the Fed has their back need to read this book. Mark Spitznagel provides a brilliant demonstration that the gang of money printers currently resident in the Eccles Building have not repealed the laws of sound money nor have they rescinded the historical lessons on which they are based." David Stockman, Former U.S. Congressman, Budget Director under Ronald Reagan, and Author of The Great Deformation "Mark Spitznagel assembles the best insights in human nature and economics to bring order out of the chaos of our world. Economists, investors and lay persons alike will find abundant treasures in The Dao of Capital , one remarkably useful and exciting book!" Lawrence Reed, President, Foundation for Economic Education and President Emeritus, Mackinac Center for Public Policy

Reviews
"Spitznagel has written an essential new book. Indeed, might be one of the most important books of the year, or any year for that matter." -- Forbes " The Dao of Capital: Austrian Investing In A Distorted World by Mark Spitznagel (Wiley, 2013) is a beautifully crafted book, one I can recommend to readers of all political/economic persuasions... it is impossible not to be shaped by its carefully presented history and logic." -- Seeking Alpha "There is no shortage of market bears who take a grim view of the stock market. But Mr. Spitznagel has gained credibility in the investment world by predicting two market routs in the past decade, first in 2000 and then in 2008. Still, Mr. Spitznagel's approach is unusual for a money manager." -- The New York Times "A fascinating and radical break from the investment dogma of the past several decades" -- Fortune "While The Dao of Capital makes for demanding reading, it repays the effort as a heady historical and intellectual feast." -- Barron's "Spitznagel could simply have written that investors need patience and must avoid the temptation of the quick profit; that building a successful strategy, and life, involves a longer-term approach foregoing instant gratification; that establishing a solid foundation while appearing not to create progress puts you in position for much greater success later on. He did not do that. Instead, he takes you on a tour of history and nature that illuminates these long held truths. In the end his message is simple, but by providing the historical underpinnings he brings them to life in a much more vibrant way." -- Futures Magazine Among the "12 Books That Every Investor Should Read... deeply informative and will leave an impact on you." -- Business Insider "A memoir and free market manifesto... that bring(s) theoretical concepts down to the practicallevel." -- Institutional Investor "I applaud the book as a look into the thinking process of a great investor, especially one that has a clear and consistent understanding of the market process, the dangers of government intervention, and the benefits of Austrian economics." -- Ludwig von Mises Institute, "Spitznagel has written an essential new book.

Have the wisdom to learn from what I am doing and what market is telling which way is the right way
Contrate on what are the improvements I had made and what I have to work on. Taking the losing as winning and be humble to learn from it. Change my mind set to hate winning to welcome losing. But take a neutral mind set to learn why the losing or winning is coming from myself.
