What I completed in the week ending 4/26/26 (link to the previous week’s commitments):

• Read Stock Market Maestros, a framework book by Clare Finley Levy that details the decision-making process of the best public-equity investors. Using years of historical buy-and-sell data, the book rates each investor in decision-making, hit rate (which is lower than I would have thought), and payoff ratio. The book then provides 41 case studies in which the investor breaks down the investment case, why it made or lost money, why they made the decisions they made, and what they learned. This book’s co-author, Lee Freeman-Shor, also wrote The Art of Execution, which was a great decision-making book for public-market investors. When I found out that Stock Market Maestros is the follow-up to that book, I immediately bought it.

What I’ll do next week:

• Read a biography, autobiography, or framework book

Asks:

• No ask this week

Week three hundred seventeen was another week of learning. Looking forward to next week!
