The Emotionally Intelligent Investor challenges several long-held assumptions and beliefs, by asserting that a good investment approach starts with introspection. Too many investment gurus tell you to emulate their techniques despite the fact that you may have very different personality traits, motivations and biases. Would Shaquille O'Neal tell a short basketball player to play like him? This book provides a unique template for self-reflection and a framework for developing an investment approach that works best with who you are.
Whereas the consensus opinion is that investing success comes from blocking out emotions and making purely rational decisions, the best money managers actually use their feelings. They actively sense what others in the market are thinking, and they employ gut instincts when making decisions. Nevertheless, virtually all investing text books neglect to mention how to best cultivate and utilize empathetic and intuitive realizations.
In this book you will learn a process for developing an investing advantage by putting yourself in someone else's shoes. You will also discover how a stock chart is a great tool for understanding what the current holders of a security may be feeling, and you will appreciate why technical analysis works.
This book demystifies intuition with respect to investing and provides a method for building and safely harnessing helpful gut instincts. Traditional security analysis is vital, but in this book you will learn why superior returns primarily depend on self-awareness, empathy and intuition. The book is complete with examples and recommendations that illuminate a path towards reaching full investing potential.

Great Book. Informative and interesting.
By A Benincasa
I liked this book a lot. One of the first things mentioned in this book is a problem that I, and I have to assume many traders, deal with. It is the issue of selling too early, leaving "money on the table" and exiting a trade before it hits your designated sell zone or before it comes to fruition. The author admits (and I appreciate the honesty) that this is a problem that he has grappled with and still deals with. The author suggests that this issue is tied into shame and regret. In other words, there is a sense of shame that develops from having had a profit turn into a loss and obviously, along with that, there is a sense of regret. In my case, I'm not really tuned into a sense of shame, but the regret issue truly strikes a chord. Later in the book the author does implement strategies that deal with these issues. I have always felt the psychological component to be the most important part of the trading equation, but the author states that an edge in the markets is composed not only of a mental edge but also the ability to see patterns and to see them in a way in which they are not seen by the crowd. There are multiple illustrations of real trades and the explanations behind these trades. The author is a successful investor and once worked for George Soros as well as Karsch Capital Management. He now works for himself and manages his personal wealth. In the world of professional performance (investments, athletics, entertainment, etc, I do tend to listen a bit more to someone that has hands on experience. This may be a flaw, I realize that many with no experience in a particular discipline can teach us a lot about that discipline, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's interesting to hear from a player and not someone in the dugout).
The book starts by stating that "self awareness" is perhaps one of the most important characteristics that any trader can have. The entire book seems to be based on the premise of, "trader, know thyself". So, what kind of trader are you? Are you a value player that can withstand a stock trading against you for quite a while or are you a short term trader trying to catch the "ebbs and flows". Is your analysis more Macro based or are you comfortable with reading and interpreting charts? Speaking of charts, the author states that he used to look at charts as "voodoo", but has since changed his mind/attitude toward them and now states that charts can give very important psychological information about the types of traders/shareholders involved with a particular equity. His take on charts I found particularly interesting. His interpretation of support and resistance and what it is that brings these about is for me worth the price of the book. I again appreciated the author's honesty in admitting that he once thought charts were almost absurd but now states that any trader that is not aware of at least the basic aspects of support/resistance, euphoria spikes and panic sell-offs, is at a disadvantage. I've always thought it obvious that the lines on a chart hold significant information. So the aspect of self-awareness is critical because if you don't find out what type of trader/investor you are it is somewhat like endlessly trying to fit a round ball into a square hole.
There are many moments while reading this where I recognize that the author is talking about an issue or a subject that has been spoken of before, but he has a different perspective with which I'm not familiar and it just "feels right". Ironically, a significant portion of the book has to do with intuition and developing this special "feel". It is the author's contention that without this feel the trader/investor is at a disadvantage. Where he differs in what I've read before is that he states that intuition, long thought to be some mystical sixth sense, is really the mind recognizing with great speed something it has seen before. It's just that it happens so quickly it seems almost mystical, but it is more the sensing of a pattern with which we are familiar. The author states that intuitive power can be developed, but that it takes effort and time. From what I can see, there are two important modes of development. One is to use visualization and this is explained in detail in the book and the other is keeping a journal. The author is big on diary keeping and journaling. He states that there is empirical evidence as to the positive effects of writing about our trading experiences or for that matter writing about life. He equates journaling to professional athletes watching film and gathering information on what works and what doesn't work all the while keeping in mind the conditions under which these successes and failures take place. He also notes intensely that what works now, the "edge" so to speak, can last for a short duration or many decades. You get the feeling that the edge that can't be taken away is the mental edge. Fundamental and technical edges last only as long as they take to be noticed and implemented by "the crowd". As I said, this can be weeks or decades. The real edge, from what I can see, is mental preparation and the ability to apprehend patterns and to empathize with the other players in the markets. How are patterns noticed? This is delineated in the book and part of it has to do with "deliberate practice". The author near the end of the book analogizes market mastery with chess grandmasters. I found this especially interesting though, as the author states, the comparison begins to break down as the market presents us with an element of randomness/luck that he believes chess does not have or at least does not have in the same way. He gives illustrations of market randomness, how money can be made via pure luck and he addresses what he believes can counteract randomness. To me, this is extremely dangerous because as our luck grows so does our confidence and so does our position size and, well, we all know where this can end. All in all, this is a book well worth adding to your trading library. There's just tons of great information within it. I hope this review helped a little.

A great book that addresses investing from a unique angle
By hy
I strongly recommend this book to anyone that has an interest in investing. The book is broken down into three parts: Self-Awareness, Social Awareness and Intuition.
In the beginning of Part 1, the author describes the various biases that impact decision making. These behavioral biases have been written about in other books and while good to review, I was already familiar with many of them. This part of the book would probably be more helpful to individual / non-professional investors. However, the book starts to get more unique towards the end of Part 1 when a framework for matching personality traits and motivation with investment style is discussed. I always thought that impulsive and emotionally sensitive people could not be good investors. I now realize that they still can be good, or even great, as long as they adopt an investment approach that fits with their personality.
Part 2 is where the book really gets worthwhile and after reading it, I understand why the author started out with listing so many behavioral biases in Part 1. Everyone has heard of the Warren Buffett quote about "being greedy when others are fearful." I now better understand this statement. A big part of investing success involves taking advantage of the mistakes of other people. It may not sound nice, but the fact is that whenever you buy a stock, someone else is selling it to you so one of you is going to be wrong. After understanding and reviewing the behavioral biases and after showing how you can improve self-awareness to avoid making common mistakes, the author provides a process for how to identify and take advantage of others' poor decisions. I found chapter 8 (Demystifying Technical Analysis) to be the best chapter in the book. As a long term value investor, I never paid much attention to charts. I knew a lot of people looked at them, but I could never understand why. I am now a believer in the charts! I have never seen another book attempt to tie behavioral biases to the principles underlying technical analysis. I now understand why chart reading concepts like support, resistance, breakouts, market breadth, etc. are useful. At the end of Part 2, the book addresses how to use social awareness to get an informational advantage. A lot of communication is non-verbal and the book provides a few examples of how to gain an advantage over others by listening to gut feelings and paying attention to body language. The examples provided were good, but I would have preferred to have a little more depth and more examples in this part of the book.
Part 3 is about Intuition. I always thought intuition was something that you either had or didn't have. After reading this book, I now understand that it CAN be learned. The book provides a process for improving intuition. While there are certainly other people that preach learning from mistakes, this is the first investing book that I have seen that also provides a process for how to safely use intuition and for how to leverage the intuition of others.
The conclusion had a dozen concrete recommendations and changes one can make to improve investment performance based on the concepts laid out in the book. Some of these recommendations seem obvious but others were things I wouldn't have thought about. Professional investors will probably get a little more out of the conclusion than individual investors since many of the "process changes" such as how to recruit better, are more relevant for institutions.
Overall, I thought it was a great book that addresses investing from a unique angle. I have read many investment books and still feel like I learned a lot from this one.

Recommended Read -- A Professional Investor's Assessment
By Anuj Mathur
BACKGROUND: Similar to the author, I invest for a living, focusing primarily on tech stocks. My assessment is written from the perspective of someone who lives/breathes investing and is constantly looking for ways to perfect my trade.
QUICK ASSESSMENT: I would strongly recommend this book to any individual who is looking to improve their investing skills, ranging from an aspiring investment professional to those simply managing their IRA/401K. The author provides actionable advice for value and growth investors alike. I only wish I would have had this resource available to me when I started my career as a junior research analyst!
A LITTLE MORE DETAIL: The author, Ravee Mehta, has a clear sense of how core financial analysis and research skills, combined with a strong work ethic, can positively contribute to generating attractive investment returns. Luckily for the reader, we are not forced to rehash a set of topics for which there are countless, great reads. Ravee recognizes that these "hard skills" are (relatively) easy to replicate. Therefore, "investment edge" is likely sourced elsewhere. He identifies a set of "soft skills" that are more difficult to define, and as a result teach. That said, Ravee adeptly proceeds to lay out an easy-to-follow and instructive dialogue on how an investor can understand and improve their soft investment skills, which include self awareness, empathy and intuition.
While the premise of the book is itself unique, brilliance is found in the manner that the author addresses these seemingly nebulous concepts (i.e. self awareness, empathy and intuition). The author supports his explanations with numerous real world examples, which is especially helpful in Chapter 8, "Demystifying Technical Analysis". Additionally, the author often provides examples of how he has improved his investor skill set through various activities (i.e. he ends each market day with a few comments in a journal).
From a reader's perspective, not only are there lessons to be learned, but you walk away from each chapter with a game plan (i.e. to hone my self awareness and avoid replicating my mistakes, I can do X, Y and Z). When you complete a book and now reference it as a "resource", you know you've found a gem.
