How are ratings calculated?
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness.

The book never pandered to releasing β€œthe secret”, which I respected a lot. A very enjoyable read of some very influential people in investing and invariably, politics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent writing - path to "success" is mired with traps
Reviewed in Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ on October 29, 2020

The ex-code breaker, mathematician turned quant investment guru always wanted to make a lot of money - something that the modern populace associates to success. But what did success cost Simons? The writer takes us through Simon's journeys, his ups, his downs, and although this is a story about the "mysterious" Renaissance Technologies, it is considered Simon's life's work. His story illuminates the backdrop and allows the reader to give their own Straussian take on his life story.

Entertaining and in-depth book given the level of privacy upheld by the firm. Author did strong due diligence when collecting stories and research for the book. Gives a great insight into the companies progression and how they ended up where they are today. 8/10

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read - and no you won’t learn trading secrets

You won’t learn trading secrets and that is not what the book is about. What you will learn is that tech analysis and algos can and do run the market.

Story about trading and building the fund was great. The clear political bias by the author completely detracted from it
