Authored by John Rothchild, this compelling biography blends financial history with personal narrative, offering professional investors a rare glimpse into value investing, leverage, and long-term wealth building. ## Description A half-century of Wall Street history as seen through the lives of its most illustrious family This compelling new narrative from bestselling author John Rothchild tells the story of three generations of the legendary Davis family, who rank among the most successful investors in the history of the Street. With a novelist's wit and eye for telling detail, Rothchild chronicles the financial escapades of this eccentric, pioneering clan, providing a vivid portrait of fifty years of Wall Street history along the way. Rothchild shadows the Davis family's holdings through two lengthy bull markets, two savage and seven mild bear markets, one crash, and twenty-five corrections and, in the process, reveals the strategies behind the family's uncanny ability to consistently beat the markets. The Davis Dynasty begins in 1947, the year Shelby Davis quit his job as a state bureaucrat and, armed with $50,000 of his wife's money, took the plunge into stock investing. By the time he died in 1994, he had multiplied his wife's original stake 8,000 times! The story continues with his son, Shelby, who established one of the most successful funds of the past thirty years. The final characters in this enthralling family saga are grandsons Chris and Andrew. Both surrendered to the Davis family passion for investing and both went on to earn reputations as investment luminaries in their own right. John Rothchild (Miami Beach, FL) co-wrote the blockbusters One Up on Wall Street, Beating the Street, and Learn to Earn with Peter Lynch. He is the author of Survive and Profit in Ferocious Markets (Wiley: 0-471-34882-1), A Fool and His Money (Wiley: 0-471-25138-0), and Going for Broke. He has written for Harper's, Rolling Stone, Esquire, and other leading magazines and he has appeared on the Today Show, the Nightly Business Report, and CNBC. Review: The Most Successful Investor You've Never Heard Of - The story of the greatest investor nobody's ever heard of. Of course, serious students of investing and finance have probably heard at least something of Shelby Davis, or at least the fund started by his son that bears the family name. This book, however, brings to life the story of an obscure figure in American business. Born in 1909, Shelby Cullom Davis' upbringing and life spans the gulf between the America of an earlier time and the modern era. He was decidedly WASP in origin and mindset, preoccupied with climbing the social ladder and reaping its rewards. At the same time, the frugal and often bitter Davis amassed a truly staggering fortune. "The Davis Dynasty" is a fascinating read for anyone interested in investing. It's not just a story about one man's life and career; it is also a story of the business climate and stock market in the second half of the twentieth century, from the lows of the late '40s to the computer-boom of the '60s, the volatile market of the '70s to the dot-com mania of the late '90s. Throughout, the author takes care to explain Davis' methods and results and in doing so makes the case for several investing principles, such as specialization, value-investing and holding for long periods of time, through up markets and down. Review: Value investing with manageable leverage can work - A good book to read. It validated that value investing works (not cigar butts) and it also highlights how a certain amount of leverage can help an investor. So a fresh perspective on an altered value investing approach of succeeding in investing ## Features - Item Trademark: WILEY - manufacturer: John Wiley & Sons Inc - Item Weight: grams, pounds, 1.02074027306, 463. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #167,802 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #599 in Biographies of Business & Industrial Professionals #1,576 in Investing #2,069 in Finance | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 60 Reviews | ## Images ![The Davis Dynasty Fifty Years Of Successful Investing On Wall Street - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TzsqPtLLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Most Successful Investor You've Never Heard Of *by B***E on 14 July 2018* The story of the greatest investor nobody's ever heard of.
