DocSnowball Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 RIP David Swensen, one of the greats. In this lecture, he distilled more for me about markets and investing than anything else I've learned. What a legend. https://oyc.yale.edu/economics/econ-252-11/lecture-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boilermaker75 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I remember his book, "Unconventional Success," as being pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobyts Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I was randomly listening to a podcast 2 days back by Ted Seides, who used to work with David Swenson. In the whole interview, he was referring to David Swenson and his skills. https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com/episodes/how-to-invest-like-the-best-w-ted-seides/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, I don't recall seeing it in the CoBF Books forum. It has been quite a while since I read it, > 10 years. So, I don't recall what is in it other than I had a good impression. I should reread it. I probably would get much more out of it today than I did when I originally read it. If I get to rereading it, I will post my impressions and some detail of what I got out of it.
