The Moneyball Method: A Middle-Class Manifesto for Objective Investing Kindle Edition

If you’ve heard of Moneyball, you probably know it as the hit movie from 2011 starring Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, General Manager of the 2002 Oakland Athletics baseball club. Because of the film’s power and Beane’s unlikely success, Moneyball has since become known for statistical analysis, risk management and profitability in professional sports.And while there are countless books about personal finance, none of them begin with the ethics of economics, identify the contradictions, and deliver a solution that meets the needs of the individual investor and is reliable. That is radical, meaning The Moneyball Method deals with root causes and fundamentals.Whether it’s winning baseball or wealth management, strategy decisions should begin and end with the variables we know and control.
