Finance or Marketing? Hard to Tell.
I listened bravely to about 75% of this audiobook. It’s safe to say that I won’t be finishing it. Personally, I did not like this audiobook, and I will explain why.
1. The discussion about ETFs was mostly focused on the USA. If you are from Europe, Asia, Latin America, or Africa, a lot of the content is just "noise" with little relevance to your situation.
2. The audiobook constantly lists ETF names and ticker codes one after another. Listening to this is difficult and tiresome. Maybe reading it directly would be better, I don’t know.
3. Many ETFs and the way they were presented felt like advertisements. For example, ESG ETFs were praised as if they were the ultimate form of "responsible and sustainable investing." However, in reality, such ESG ETFs may not be profitable in the long term. These so-called "green stocks" do not have a "magic wand effect." In the end, it is the investor who has to pay for the green transition through lower profits.
4. The audiobook narrator had a clear and fluent reading style, but I did not like it at all. It seemed like the book was aimed at an audience of teenagers or people in their 20s and 30s. The reading style and even the jokes were, to put it mildly, childish.
5. The audiobook could have been 50% shorter. For this kind of book, that would have been a huge advantage for the listener.
And so on.
For me, a book in the style of *"for Dummies"* serves as a lesson and a warning—to stay away from such books. Everything I wrote here is my personal opinion. I am a small investor, and I hoped to get something educational and useful from this book. But in the end, the actual benefit I got from this audiobook was minimal.
