The Art of Execution

Over a period spanning seven years, 45 of the world's top investors were each given between $25 and $150m to invest by Lee Freeman-Shor. His instructions were simple. There was only one rule. They could only invest in their ten best ideas to make money. What could possibly go wrong? These were some of the greatest minds at work in the markets today - from top European hedge fund managers to Wall Street legends. Most of the investors' great ideas actually lost money. Shockingly, a toss of a coin would have been a better method of choosing whether to invest in a stock or not. Despite being wrong most of the time, many of these investors STILL ended up making a lot of money. How is this possible? The answer was their hidden habits of execution. THis book lays bare the ins and outs of those secret habits.
