5.0 out of 5 stars You will love it, 18 Aug 2006
By Thomas Koetzsch (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
After detailing his narrow escape from the stock market grinder on Wall Street - which is an excellent book by the way - Andy Kessler in `Running Money' has turned his mind to the hedge funds in general and the one he and Fred Kittler were running in particular.

His bit on the industrial revolution looks oddly out of place, but I guess he is trying to tell us that his own investment style comes close to that followed during the industrial revolution. That means backing potential winners at a time when nobody else expects them to amount to anything useful. But I think there is little factual evidence to this effect in the book. His and his partner's stock and company picking more often than not appear to be based on a hunch rather than some superior stock/company or product picking technique.

But apart from that, I love Kessler's witty style and comments on his fellow fund managers - they are just as human as the rest of us.

Excellent show. Can we have more please.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relaxing and enjoyable read!, 11 Jan 2006
You don't find many investment related books that make for an enjoyable read as Andy Kessler's latest!

I enjoyed the book, even if it gets a little drowsy in the first quarter of the book when he parallels his investment strategy to the Industrial Revolution in Britain.

He treats the reader with an amusing walk into his life as hedge fund manager. I would definitely recommend this book as a good read to understand that even Hedge Fund managers are humans, and it does help us lay people who cannot afford to place money with hedge funds understand the business.

Be entertained and edified...

4.0 out of 5 stars Velocity partner on speed of technology, 9 Nov 2006
Though this book is not quite the tour de force that "Wall Street Meat" was, it is highly entertaining. Kessler's description of Palo Alto in the 1990s is sharp and vivid, and his engineering background means he pays as much attention to the inventors of the technology as to the people that invested in it. Having finished the book, I almost feel like I've been wearing chinos and a blue shirt, drinking bad coffee, talking to deluded executives about how their technology is going to change the world. I think I may also have a better understanding of how technology has actually changed the world, and how it might in the future.

Kessler's search for a unifying thesis on technology investment seems incomplete (but if he'd nailed it, why would he tell us?) and his diatribe on the US trade deficit is thought-provoking if not actually water-tight. The best bits about Kessler's writing remain his candour, his transcription of witty dialogue (if Jack Grubman was the comic character of WSM, Nick Moore has most of the best lines in this book), and the fact that he was actually there. I hope he sets up another fund, (maybe it should be Acceleration Capital rather than Velocity Capital 2 given his love of the second-derivative) and writes another funny and interesting book.
