Howard Marks, the chairman and cofounder of Oaktree Capital Management, is renowned for his insightful assessments of market opportunity and risk.  After four decades spent ascending to the top of the investment management profession, he is today sought out by the worlds leading value investors, and his client memos brim with insightful commentary and a time-tested, fundamental philosophy.  Now for the first time, all readers can benefit from Markss wisdom, concentrated into a single volume that speaks to both the amateur and seasoned investor. Informed by a lifetime of experience and study, The Most Important Thing explains the keys to successful investment and the pitfalls that can destroy capital or ruin a career.  Utilizing passages from his memos to illustrate his ideas, Marks teaches by example, detailing the development of an investment philosophy that fully acknowledges the complexities of investing and the perils of the financial world.  Brilliantly applying insight to todays volatile markets, Marks offers a volume that is part memoir, part creed, with a number of broad takeaways. Marks expounds on such concepts as second-level thinking, the price/value relationship, patient opportunism, and defensive investing.  Frankly and honestly assessing his own decisions--and occasional missteps--he provides valuable lessons for critical thinking, risk assessment, and investment strategy.  Encouraging investors to be contrarian, Marks wisely judges market cycles and achieves returns through aggressive yet measured action.  Which element is the most essential? Successful investing requires thoughtful attention to many separate aspects, and each of Markss subjects proves to be the most important thing. This is that rarity, a useful book. --Warren Buffett

Legendary investor Warren Buffett explains how to identify and master the cycles that govern the markets.  The legendary investor shows how to identify and master the cycles that govern the markets.  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.
