👍 Worth It
Penny doesn't hand out praise like this often, but when Howard Marks calls a book a graduate-level course and Morgan Housel calls it an 'ah-ha' moment, that's earned. It's dense and formula-heavy, so it demands real attention as an audiobook, but Steve Routman's measured narration helps carry serious investors through genuinely rigorous material.
