Three Decades of Investment and Business Insights from the Berkshire Hathaway ShareholderFor decades, thousands of people have gathered in Omaha, Nebraska for the Berkshire Hathaway AGM, and quizzed Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger on everything from the psychology of successful investors to the future of Coca-Cola and Apple. But unless you attended, for manyyears you only had access to what people could remember and report back from the meetings.In 2018, Berkshire released the archives of the annual meetings going back to 1994. Alex Morris—an equities analyst and financial writer—watched hundreds of hours of video from these annual meetings (as well as the six AGMs held since 2018), covering more than 1,700 questions asked by Berkshire Hathaway shareholders over the past 31 years.

當我們總是試圖預測未來，《Same As Ever》提醒我們，真正有價值的不是變化，而是不變。暢銷書作者摩根・豪塞爾透過24則精彩故事，深入剖析那些無論十年、百年後依然如故的人性、行為與商業法則。無法預測的事件固然令人焦慮，但了解「什麼永遠不變」，反而能幫助我們更清晰地看待風險、機會與決策。這是一本教你在混沌未來中保持清明，在變動中找到穩定的智慧之書。當你再次看見歷史重演，你將會會心一笑地說：「沒錯，又是老樣子。」When planning for the future we often ask, "What will the economy be doing this time next year?"

Instead, we should be asking a different question:What will be the same ten years from now?What will be the same one hundred years from now?Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important, than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future.In Same As Ever, bestselling author Morgan Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behaviour, and business will always be the same.

How to find a winning investing edge in an unpredictable worldWhy just be contrarian when you can bet against consensus and be right? Through a meta-analysis of what moves markets and what drives human behavior, New York Times bestselling author and founder of Verdad Advisers, Daniel Rasmussen cuts through the 60/40 portfolio, exposing where empirical evidence shows the best opportunities—and where projections, models, and experts often fail—to create an asset allocation that can withstand the tests of time. In this exploration of intellectual truths in investing, Dan’s research shows that the investor’s edge lies in fundamentals over forecasts, humility over hubris, and demonstrated rules over dogma.

How I Invest My Money changes that.In this unprecedented collection, 25 financial experts share how they navigate markets with their own capital.

Harriman Classics with a new foreword by James P. O'ShaughnessyIf you want to get rich, no matter how inexperienced you are in investment, this book can help you. Its message is that you must not avoid risk, nor court it foolhardily, but learn how to manage it – and enjoy it too.The 12 major and 16 minor Zurich Axioms contained in this book are a set of principles providing a practical philosophy for the realistic management of risk, which can be followed successfully by anyone, not merely the 'experts'. Several of the Axioms fly right in the face of the traditional wisdom of the investment advice business – yet the enterprising Swiss speculators who devised them became rich, while many investors who follow the conventional path do not. Max Gunther, whose father was one of the original speculators who devised the Axioms, made his first capital gain on the stock market at the age of 13 and never looked back.Now the rest of us can follow in his footsteps. Startlingly straightforward, the
