On a recent Price of Business, Host Kevin Price interviewed investor, philanthropist, and author David Rubenstein.

After the interview, Kevin Price said that “Rubenstein is one of my favorite recurring guests. He brings so much information to every conversation.”  In this interview the billionaire discussed the common traits the most successful investors had in common, the biggest mistakes people make in investing, and what kind of stocks he is buying right now.

According to The Carlyle Group “Cofounder and New York Times bestselling author David M. Rubenstein, the best investors share key traits, such as recovering from failure, taking responsibility, bucking conventional wisdom, and paying attention to detail. After three decades at the top of the world of private equity—and many years interviewing and learning from some of the best in the business—Rubenstein brings us an authoritative guide, HOW TO INVEST, for beginners and professionals alike. 

“In his new book, Rubenstein distills everything he and the best investors today have learned about the art and craft of investing, from venture capital, real estate, private equity, and hedge funds, to crypto, endowments, SPACs, ESG, and more. With unprecedented access to global leaders in finance, Rubenstein offers the thinking and advice of the most successful and powerful investors in the world—many of whom rarely speak publicly—including Larry Fink, Jim Simons, Mary Callahan Erdoes, Marc Andreessen, Ray Dalio, and more.

F”or those looking to take the next big step in their financial journey, HOW TO INVEST is a powerful tool.
