Purchase options and add-ons

The go-to guide for serious investors seeking long-term success, Winning the Loser’s Game explains clearly the all-important lessons learned over half a century working with the world’s leading investment experts.

Called “Wall Street’s wisest man” by Money magazine, Charles Ellis converts the expertise he has developed as a consultant to the world’s largest pension, endowment and sovereign wealth funds and as a teacher at Harvard, Yale and Princeton into candid, pithy, easy to use chapters on how to succeed as an investor.

This final edition of this popular book―it has already sold over 500,000 copies―is packed with important up to the minute facts and insights into…
• Why indexing continues to out-perform “active” indexing.
• Why fees are much higher than most of us realize.
• How 401(k) plans can and should be modernized.
• Why understanding behavioral economics is so important for all investors.

With Winning the Loser’s Game, you have anything you need to identify your unique investment objectives, develop a realistic and powerful investment program, and enjoy superior results.

In 2 – 3 hours of easy reading, you can have the same informed and candid advice that his clients gladly pay big fees to get from Charles Ellis. You’ll also have fun.

    Truly one of the best books on successful investing for those who aren't financial experts and who aren't yet wealthy and who aren't day-traders, but who want to be successful long-term investors and to live a comfortable life before and during retirement. It explains why the only real chance that everyday people now have for being successful investors is to use index funds for the majority of their investment money. It shows in easily understood terms how and why the investment world has changed so much over the last 50 years that it is practically impossible even for investors and professional fund managers using high-cost actively-managed funds to beat the market with any extended rate of success. It shows why there is a much higher rate of financial success by using low-cost, passive index funds to closely match the performance of the markets. This book will open your eyes to the truths of present-day investing. I am not a book critic or a financial expert of any kind. I'm just a retired guy who has made many investing mistakes during my life using several financial advisors and as many strategies to try to invest for retirement (not using index funds). Had I read an earlier edition of this book much earlier in my life, I would have been in much better financial shape now. But better late than never.

    Waited 6 months for 7th Edition hoping to find new perspectives from Mr. Ellis. Unfortunately, compared to 6th Edition published four years ago- there is no discernible change or revision to content. No wonder the the publisher or the reviewers make no comments concerning the "new edition". No comments in Preface, Introduction, Front and Back Cover or the inside flaps!! What is the point of publishing another edition when there is nothing "new" or updated?? Just marketing. Hadn't expected that from McGraw Hill.

    I've read many books on finance and investing. I recommend this book to EVERYONE who manages their own stock market investments. If you really understand the inner workings of individual companies, their products, and the market sector that they operate in, then you have a chance at making money consistently in individual stocks. However, if you don't have the time or desire to really study individual companies, then investing in the overall stock market is a proven strategy. Even most professional money managers and financial advisors perform worse than the overall market average. The best way to gauge if you (or your financial advisor) is performing reasonably well is to judge against the S & P 500, or total stock market index....

    This may be the best book on investing ever written. Index investing works. Diversification is your friend. Low costs make all the difference. If you want to spend a lot of time on your investments and have only a 20% chance of beating the market, then watch Cramer on Mad Money and read a bunch of other books.

    Short and to the point, this is one of the best books I've read for the individual investor. It doesn't go into much detail of specific asset classes, but has a great, high level, evidence based approach to one's overall investment approach. It's probably good to revisit once every few years as one's situation evolves. It may also be good for financial advisers to bridge the gap with clients. Additionally, the high level theme can apply to many of life's endeavors.

    This book can be summarized simply: buy index funds. Lots of rambling. I liked A Random Walk Down Wall Street a lot better. This book says a lot of the same things as Random Walk, just not as entertaining.

    Good book. The book has a rambling delivery but stresses the power of broad total stock market index investing.

    I've done a lot of reading re: Investments. I am trying to spend less time on my investments and get at least the same return.
    This book really made sense. I loved the analogies which will help my wife to understand "the Market" as well. Now if I can
    just follow my NEW Investment Philosophy, I'm sure all will go well.

    Für jemanden der mit Aktien schon ein paar Erfahrungen gemacht hat ist das Buch wahrscheinlich eher eine Enttäuschung.

Der Author begründet ausführlich weshalb er die Investition in ETFs für den einfachen Investor als die beste Alternative ansieht. Mich hat er jedenfalls überzeugt.

    No me extraña que la traduccion española este agotada. Es un extraordinario resumen de los pasos que cualquier persona debe dar para manejar sus finanzas personales. Ademas, ha trabajado codo con codo con uno de los mejores gestores de inversion conocidos, David Swensen, lo cual es una garantia adicional. No te arrepentiras si lo lees
