The Big Bull of Dalal Street: How Rakesh Jhunjhunwala Made His Fortune

Extremely good book. Writers has used their fine skill of the English language which is very connecting. When you read this book you will feel like having one2one dialogue. Very easy going and able to develop clear understanding with any average reader like me. I simply Love this book.

All Indian investors have to pay tribute to Rakesh. I reckon he was a better investor than Warren and Charlie. Being a Marwari also helped as they have business and investing flowing in their veins. It is interesting to learn that he started his investing career with fifteen to twenty lakhs and not five thousand rupees. In 1986 twenty lakhs was a mighty sum of money. Nevertheless this does not diminish his achievements. We will not forget him in a hurry and it will be a long time before another man of his calibre appears in Dalal Street. At the very least a road in the Fort Area should be named in his honour. I strongly recommend this book.

I really liked the book for the sake of such simple and easy writing which not only kept the topic interesting but also provided a lot of valuable insights into the life of late legendary Invester Mr. Jhujhunwala. I have been following Aditya on Twitter for long and have been immensely benefited by his wisdom and teachings shared through his posts and blogs.I hope he writes few more book which can focus on specifics and psychology of long term investing along with his insights on business valuation and analysis.I highly recommend to read this book so you can really understand the life of Warren Buffett of India and his investing journey.

This book is an extended essay from all the hearsay (from friends and family) and public appearances of RJ's.Great respect to RJ who for us is an idol when it comes to investing however the book doesn't do any justice to learn anything into the mindset of the great RJ or what triggered a trade/invest approach to an idea RJ had.This book certainly does not give you any "holy grail" which RJ or Rare Enterprises follow. The first time authors do a shoddy job into trapping the new reader into "How RJ made his fortune" which could be easily and aptly titled as "When RJ made his fortune" as this book is just a genealogy of events as to what RJ did at which time.P.S: Don't be fooled by the much praise from other celeb finfluencers. I wish I could get my money back on this book.

It's a good compilation of publically available information on the big bull. There are some clues to his investment philosophy but nothing specific as to how he took decisions.As compared to other books available on RJ, this is the best.
