Introduction
About the book
Mastering The Market Cycles by Howard Marks (author) provides practical insight and keen analysis on how to understand, track, and react to the ups and downs of market cycles. It reveals the hidden logic of the market trends so that investors have the opportunity to improve their investment skills. The book explains that it is hard to gain an investment advantage through research since so many smart people are doing it already; the only way to get an advantage is to understand the psychology of investing and assess the present stage of the business/market cycle.
