For years we have used books to tell our philosophical story. If investors want to know what the academic evidence says about investing, we have more than a dozen different options in stock.

Larry Swedroe, who sat down to discuss his latest book with Matt recently (view the video here), has written 14 books over the past 16 years. Our collection ranges from simplistic to highly technical, but one thing is missing: a book we’ve penned ourselves.

That’s about to change!

I’m excited to tell you that I’ve been working on a book for the last five months. We can’t say much more at this point, but have no fear: it won’t be long, it won’t be boring, and it won’t be something that’s been done before. Most importantly, it will help others Take the long view!

Watch this blog and our social media channels for details as we share more over the coming months.

Larry Swedroe, author and Director of Research for The BAM ALLIANCE, and Matt Hall, President of Hill Investment Group, discuss Larry’s latest book: Think, Act, and Invest Like Warren Buffett on February 5th, 2014 at the Saint Louis Club in St. Louis, MO. Nearly 70 guests had the opportunity to learn about why Larry wrote the book, hear some key lessons of investing, and ask questions.

Correction: Larry’s example about commercial real estate and defaults is off by one year. It happened in 2008-2010 rather than 2009-2011.

We invite you to an event with Larry Swedroe on Wednesday, February 5th at the Saint Louis Club. Larry is one of 22 well-known names in finance quoted in The Wall Street Journal’s December 29, 2013 article The Best Financial Advice I Ever Got (or Gave). Larry’s best advice is: “the strategy to get rich—take concentrated risk, typically with your labor capital/business—is entirely different than the strategy to stay rich, which is to minimize the risks we take, diversify the ones we take as much as possible, keep costs low, tax efficiency high, and don’t spend too much.”

We are proud to offer this opportunity to hear Larry, and we look forward to seeing you there. Details are shown below. For those unable to attend, a video of the entire conversation is now available here.
