Publisher's summary

There are secret ways of seeing the world of finance that every investor should know.

Overlooked things that tip the balance from failure to success.

Hidden truths that make the critical difference between understanding the world and being dangerously naive.

And surprising realities that determine whether or not you and your family are on the path to generational wealth.

In You Weren’t Supposed to See That, Downtown Josh Brown—the original Wall Street blogger, star of CNBC’s Halftime Report, and manager of billions of dollars as CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management—collects and shares the most important of these secrets.

Drawing on 15 years of The Reformed Broker, the most-visited financial blog in the world, Josh revisits, updates, and expands on the best of his wildly popular writing. As he does so, he helps you to discover all the most important, surprising, and sometimes painfully true secrets of finance, investing, and Wall Street that you need to know to thrive today.

With Downtown Josh Brown as your guide, you’ll see things how they really are—and as you never have before.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Financial markets analysis and commentary from a smart, hard-working guy who works on behalf of his investors.

Josh has always been a "What you see, is what you get" kinda guy. Unvarnished truths filtered through the lens of an everyman -- who just happens to be whip smart and with a gift for no bullshit communications.

The chapters on Scarcity and Abundance, the ultra-wealthy engendering no financial risks through collateralized borrowing, and the technicians and fundamentalist market explanations stood out for me. Entertaining and informative read. Recommended.

Great Insights!

I listened to Josh's podcast, The Compound for the last year. I've been listening to him on Cnbc for the last 4 years. a This book consolidates so many themes and ideas I've heard from. him over the years. I believe this is a must-read for the modern-day investor.

Every Investor Should Own This Book

This is in my top 5 books of the year. As someone who is in the business and brand new this was much needed. Josh always come with wisdom, courage, and that New York charm. Highly recommend this book for anyone thinking about getting in the business and for anyone who is not in the business but want to invest.

Smart and entertaining.

As a consumer of Josh’s writing, YouTube videos, and CNBC commentary, this book gave me a complete picture of THE advisor for the 21st century investor. No nonsense, humor and humility, and a strategy based on facts not emotion is what sets this unicorn apart in this industry. A must read for ANYONE investing for the future!

Excellent Book at the Perfect Time

Josh Brown's defining characteristic defies what most people think of Wall Street: Honesty. This is the most honest perspective on markets and investing that I have ever read. It touches on many controversial ideas---When everyone wind, we all lose---and uses humility and humor to teach through experience rather than academic equations. When I finished the book, I thought to myself, "The Butcher of Wall Street" is my hero.
