Confessions Of Stock Market Wizards Hardcover – 13 February 2025

Although I have read many books on finance, stock markets and related subjects, I haven't come across any book written on the mistakes by the experts of stock market. On the success stories of experts you will find a number of books, but not on mistakes by them. And to me it appears that learning from the mistakes of others, here in this case the market experts, is the easiest and smartest way to gain experience and exposure.The questions asked to each of the experts is very much pertinent and relevant, almost every budding or expert investors have those questions in their mind, the answer to which they are looking for. The book covers almost the entire who's who of the financial markets, and you get know and understand a wide range of opinions and approaches to the same situations. By the time you reach the last chapter, you feel that your investment thesis has evolved and enriched in a big way. The writing is lucid and you will find the chapters are somewhat linked to each other.All in all an excellent read!

One of the best learnings I ever had from the veterans of the Indian Stock Market. The concept of learning from both errors of omission and errors of commission was very helpful insight as an investor. I personally loved the learnings from SP Mittal Sir, though I knew about him because of his Sons & Screener but his own life and learnings actually helped me to understand why Ayush Mittal, Pratush Mittal and Screener altogether are a Success. Thanks to Safir Sir for bringing so much wisdom to us and in his conclusion chapter he answered all my questions that I always wanted to ask him personally but couldn't ask. Thanks again!

I was hoping for more insights into the mistakes and confessions of seasoned investors, but unfortunately, this book doesn't deliver much in that regard. Instead, it focuses primarily on the investing process and praises legendary investors, which feels repetitive. I’d recommend exploring other books out there.

Confessions of a Stock Market Wizard is more than just a collection of interviews; it’s a treasure trove of investment wisdom. Author masterfully distills the strategies, philosophies, and journeys of 26 market wizards, offering invaluable insights into the world of investing.One of the book’s key takeaways is that there is no single path to success in the stock market. Different strategies can yield strong results, but patience, consistency, and long-term thinking are essential. The emphasis on risk management, asset allocation, and diversification makes this a must-read for investors looking to preserve and grow their capital.Beyond technical expertise, the book highlights the psychological aspects of investing—discipline, resilience, and emotional intelligence. It underscores how failures can be stepping stones to growth and why adaptability and continuous learning are crucial traits of successful investors.This book is an inspiring and educational read for anyone in the investing world. I highly recommend it!

I bought this book few weeks back. So far it seems like the one of the most important books of my investment journey. I have read Warren Buffet, Charlie Munger, Peter Lynch, Peter cundill and many more. They are all great and necessary but Indian Markets I believe are quite different, studying the success stories and mistakes of successfully Indian investors can super charge your journey like no other. Honestly I admit that I found many new heroes through this book.Very beautifully written by Safir, Its a piece of Marvel. I suggest all serious investors to read this book. Its very very hard to find any book like this about Indian investors.

In the world of investing people gives more important to buying or stock picking skills and very less to exit the positions etc ..there are 26 veterans in investing talk about their journey and how even these investors end up doing even silly mistakes !! You get diffent views where samir sir says don't worry if u don't make 100x in one stock, that money you must have deployed in other stocks and made money..actually Samir sir's line is very apt in all kinds of market..nobody knows anything beyond a point( present market condition is like that)..Devina says assets allocation is important over which stock you buy..all in all a great book perfectly released during tough market and it will force you to make your own process.. conclusion of all chapters is that stock market necessitates you to make a process for yourself..it is a game of luck and skill and both..Safir Anand taken so much pain to write this book and the book is priced very low so many people can take the advantage of real learning..they say, learn from other's mistakes else one life time is less..perosnally I have learned alot from all the veterans like Sanjoy where he says don't run after Multibaggers but be rational in investing..Vijay says bhaiya promoter ko khud nhi pata ki iss compnay ka kya hoga..so investing also a game of luck..it's like when prepration meets opportunity success is guaranteed..Must read book Thanks to Safir Anand for producing such a gem !!

"Confessions of Stock Market Wizards" by Safir Anand Sir is not just another book on investing—it’s a deep dive into the mistakes even the most successful fund managers make and how they turn setbacks into comebacks. The insights are raw, real, and incredibly valuable for anyone navigating the markets. Instead of just glorifying success, this book teaches resilience, adaptability, and the art of learning from failure. Highly recommended for both beginners and seasoned investors. A true gem!
