Summary

According to an old joke, a visitor to New York who was admiring the yachts of the bankers and brokers naively asked where all the customers’ yachts were. Of course, none of the customers could afford yachts, even though they dutifully followed the advice of their bankers and brokers. The customers had not got rich from the stock market.
Although Fred Schwed had a deep understanding of and few illusions about the world of investment Where are the Customers’ Yachts? is very far from cynical. Schwed’s insight into the psychology of investment professionals and their customers is as relevant today as it was in 1940. He did not say that investment is pointless, or that private investors never make any money. Rather, he cast doubt on the ability of the financial services industry to provide
any really valuable advice to its customers.
Leo Gough’s interpretation of Where are the Customers’ Yachts? brings Schwed’s insights to life with modern examples. Readers will discover:
• How to spend their income, not their capital;
• That just because someone works in the stock market doesn’t mean they are a good investor;
• Why exceptions are the rule;
• How to ride the winner and avoid the collapses;
• The secret of the ‘fat, stupid peasant’ approach.
Gough explains why investment is ultimately about psychology rather than numbers. This lucid, concise and jargon-free book shows you how you can adopt Schwed’s original techniques and become a real investment ace. This interpretation of Fred Schwed’s Where are the Customers’ Yachts? illustrates the timeless nature of Schwed’s insights by placing them in a twenty-first century context and is an inspiring reworking of one of the most influential investment books ever written.

    Three award-winning advertising executives prove that in business, Sacred Cows deserve to die.Don't get us wrong. While the authors have nothing against cows in general-they love steak-they do have a problem with Sacred Cows. Blindly doing things because...well...that's the way they've always been done. Formulas may be comforting, but they rarely work in the real world. For example:-Always Trust Your Research. BANG. Research should be used to demystify decisions, not make them for you.-The Customer Is Always Right. BANG.  Except in those instances when they are woefully wrong.-Always Focus on Solving the Problem. BANG. Focusing instead on the opportunity not only solves the problem but leads to more imaginative and lasting solutions.-Follow the Leader. BANG. Doing so only plays to his strengths, not yours. After all, he drives the category.-Focus on the Numbers. BANG. Great numbers are a by-product of great strategies.-Teams Create the Best Solutions. BANG. Team dynamics usually kill great ideas.-Internal Competition Leads to Better Results. BANG. It only leads to resentment.In this hysterically irreverent and wise book, Beau Fraser, David Bernstein, and Bill Schwab share their successful approach to euthanizing Sacred Cows through humorous and vivid real-world, global examples.
