WINNING THE LOSER’S GAME

For your weekend reading pleasure I once again submit this week's segment of the PBS program Wealth Track, hosted by Consuelo Mack. The topic this time is, in a word, "timeless," as she discusses Timeless Investment Strategies with one of Wall Street's foremost experts on the subject, Charles Ellis. His thesis is that investing can be simple and the 7th 2017 edition of his book, "Winning the Loser's Game," tells all about it. The 8th edition will be available next May.  You can start with this book, or you can start with this 25 minute program.  Enjoy the weekend.

Dear WEALTHTRACK Subscriber,

Can investing be simple? Can we stop worrying about what’s happening on Wall Street, in Washington, with Fed policy, inflation, corporate earnings, and numerous other headline-making concerns? Can we just get on with our lives and still invest successfully? 

According to this week’s guest the answer is yes, and we shouldn’t even care what the market is doing.  

What should we care about? How should we invest? That is the focus of this week’s exclusive WEALTHTRACK interview.  

Our guest is Charles Ellis, the author of the investment classic WINNING THE LOSER’S GAME, available now in its 2017 7th edition. It’s revised 8th edition is due out in May 2021. Ellis is the author of 16 other books including the recently published 10th-anniversary edition of THE ELEMENTS OF INVESTING, co-written with his good friend, Princeton economics professor Burton Malkiel.   

Ellis is a globally recognized financial thought leader, investment consultant and advisor to governments, institutions and endowments. He is the former Chairman of Yale’s Investment Committee that oversaw the university’s huge and successful endowment and he has taught investment courses for years at Yale, Harvard and Princeton. 

He also cares deeply about helping investors succeed, as he puts it “winning the loser’s game.” He will help us do that this week. 

In our EXTRA feature, the super productive Ellis will share how he has been spending his time during the pandemic. It’s inspiring! 

If you miss the show on public television, you can watch it on our website over the weekend.  You can also find the WEALTHTRACK podcast on Stitcher and SoundCloud as well as iTunes and Spotify.

Make the week ahead a healthy, profitable and productive one, and have a Happy Thanksgiving! 

Best regards,

Consuelo
