Doug Kass on the Market: A Life on TheStreet

Praise for DOUG KASS ON THE MARKET

"Dougie Kass tells it like it is as he navigates the capital markets during one of the most volatile periods in history. The ultimate contrarian, Dougie made the call heard 'round the investment world when he predicted 'A Generation Market Bottom' on The Kudlow Report during the first week of March in 2009—amazingly within 24 hours of the U.S. stock market's actual low."
—Lawrence Kudlow, CNBC senior contributor and radio host of The Larry Kudlow Show

"A must-read for any serious stock market investor. Doug gives the reader invaluable insights garnered over a 40-plus-year investment career. You will be a better investor after learning from Doug's experiences."
—Leon G. Cooperman, Founder and CEO, Omega Advisors, Inc.

"Doug Kass demonstrates profound awareness of financial history, cycles and their extremes, and the need for a value-conscious, unemotional, contrarian approach. These are essential elements in investment success. By reflecting them, Doug helps his readers negotiate the extremes of euphoria and depression—and overvaluation and undervaluation—that victimize so many investors."
—Howard Marks, Chairman, Oaktree Capital Management

"From longs to shorts to Buffett to Ben Stein and, of course, poker, Doug Kass shares decades of common-sense wisdom on the markets, investing, and life. It is a real treat to read this selection of writings from one of the most levelheaded practitioners of a generation."
—David Einhorn, Founder and President, Greenlight Capital

"Doug Kass has been a serious student of the financial markets and popular culture for decades. He has combined this passion with his exceptional intelligence and common sense to write daily commentaries which I read carefully. Some of his best work is in this book. Over the years he has helped me become a better investor."
—Byron R. Wien, Vice Chairman, Blackstone Advisory Partners LP

"Doug provides both a theoretical and, more importantly, a practical approach to the unfolding dynamics of the U.S. capital market—with emphasis on understanding equities and investigating behavior. He provides a good motion picture of what has occurred in the world in the last two decades."
—Mario J. Gabelli, Founder and Chairman of GAMCO Investors
