The Alchemy of Finance: Reading the Mind of the Market

Have read a lot of reviews about this book. Some complain that it rambles on. It does, and thats what I liked so much about it. Like Mr. Soros's explanation of reflexivity you really have to contemplate this book with "reflexivity". In other words, if you come to this tome thinking you are going to learn some of his billionaire secrets, forget about it. He is too smart for that. He is not going to spell it out for you. Hoewever if you can read between the lines and learn by doing so, then that is where your free education from Mr.Soros appears. A lot can be learned from words and patterns of speech, and to hear his perceptions of life and market conditions, one can walk away with valuable info about how to time the market and life correctly.

Wanted to listen to this book since hearing Mr O'Reilly (with whom I respect) harp about Soros so much nightly. If nothing else just want to hear the "fair and balanced" sake of the dispute.

If you like listening to things that are somewhat abstract, I recommend this book. If your trying to get detailed info about how Mr. Soros made billions in hopes of repeating his success, start by studying Finance and Economics at your local community college.

His words are like a beautiful Operatic Aria. His Political schemes a perk of success. And, you have to admire his freedom to do that.
