Market Wizards: The Next Generation

July 2026

A biographical anthology profiling nine people who generated outsized returns in public markets. This book is interesting because the nine people accomplished this at very young ages. The book does a good job of detailing their backgrounds, their origin stories, and how they approach decision-making in highly uncertain situations when the stakes are extremely high.
