 Rating:  - Well written and easy to understandI first read Charles Ellis (co-written) book "The Elements of Investing" which was a quick read, and outlined the key points of proper investing,which I found very interesting. I wanted some more insight. I therefore bought "Winning the Loser's Game" which clarified the questions I had. Both books gave me the insight I needed to change my investing style with confidence.

Rating: - Must read for those disappointed with "professional' money managersEllis exposes the money managers who claim they can buy a security for you cheap, let it rise up, and then sell just before it drops. The real truth that Ellis lets us in on is that these people don't know anymore than anyone else, and what REALLY effects the markets are random events that nobody can predict. He also shows that the money managers really only make money buy churning transactions, no matter how high or low a security is. He returns us to finance 101 that tells us MARKETS are efficient, ...
