As someone with little knowledge on this subject, Dr. Kiev’s latest book provided me with powerful insight into understanding hedge funds and the masterminds behind them. He steers the reader in the right direction that can only enable one to gain inner perspective and discover how they themselves can be successful not only in this field, but in life.
Rating: 5 / 5
This book is perfect for any professional portfolio manager, trader, and buy-side research analyst. It articulates a strategy, and more importantly, a mind set that will improve decision making with added confidence. Dr. Kiev uses real world case studies of PMs and traders overcoming psychological barriers and successfully implementing his strategies. I highly recommend this book. Rating: 5 / 5
I began to reread Hedge Fund Masters as soon as I finished it.
Although it sounds simple, Dr. Kiev elegantly demonstrates how an undistracted pursuit of one’s goals is a prerequisite for success. Rating: 5 / 5
Almost every professional trader I have met knows how to visualize events in advance, and prepares to respond. What separates the typical from the master trader is the next step–the degree to which that trader responds to change.
Anyone who is willing to make the effort to improve their trading style will do well to read Dr. Ari Kiev’s latest book. The path he lays out with such clarity is the product of years of experience, and the foundation is to learn to trust
your ability in the market. The prerequisite of such self-confidence is to take responsibility for your tranding and your life, which is difficult to manifest. The gift of this book is its interviews with traders who work in close proximity to master traders, and Dr. Kiev meticulously diagrams these
conversations to illustrate the challenges facing those who are constantly trying to improve. One must first break behavioral patterns to get to the next level, and this book is an invaluable tool toward that goal

As a professional trader, I found Doctor Kiev’s book of great value. Investing is a discipline and Doctor Kiev is helping me deal the emotions of greed and fear of being wrong. Helping me be an objective trader is worth many times the cost of the book. Rating: 5 / 5
