About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A New York Times bestselling author and leading expert on market risk outlines new rules of investing for the forward-thinking.

From Wall Street to Downing Street, the fantasy of an eventual 'return to normal' is still alive and well, nurtured by dangerously outdated theories. But the economic world as we know it - and the rules that govern it - are over. And few are prepared.

Lawrence McDonald got a real-world education in market risk when, as a Lehman Brothers VP, he watched the firm ignore flashing warning signs before its collapse. Now, he unveils the predictive model he developed in the aftermath, outlining actionable trading ideas for a radically reshaped economy. Listeners will discover:

  • Why inflation will stay near 3-5% for the next decade
  • Why oil prices will remain at historic highs for the foreseeable future
  • Why hard assets and rare minerals like lithium and cobalt will outperform growth stocks and passive investment strategies
  • Why America will likely lose its position as a global superpower and holder of the world's premier reserve currency

Rather than merely doomsaying, How to Listen When Markets Speak equips listeners to make sense of our current moment, resist reactionary narratives and baseless analysis, and pounce on a new investing playbook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Our Dollar, Your Problem cover art
This is almost painful to listen through. Exceptionally poor narration, especially when attempting to quote named characters like Charlie Munger. Reminds me of a poor amateur actor.

Content is nothing new and has been doing the circuit especially via Russell Napier for sometime.

Thesis is correct in terms of investing landscape for the next 10 years. So I guess its helpful from that perspective.

Aweful Narration,
