Interview with hugely successful investor Jim Mellon at the Undoing Aging conference in Berlin 2019!

We cover reasons why it's a good time to invest in Anti-Aging and rejuvenation biotechnology today, the ethical reasons why we should, and effective advocacy: i.e. what one would say to a billionaire to convince them that investing in longevity medicine is a good thing to do now.

Jim raised over $150 Million for his venture Juvenescence recently!

Bio: Jim Mellon is an investor with an interest in several industries. After studying PPE at Oxford, Jim worked in Asia and in the US for two fund management companies, GT Management and Thornton & Co, before establishing his own business in 1991. This business is now known by two names - Charlemagne Capital, recently acquired, and Regent Pacific Group, listed in Hong Kong. Jim's private investment company, The Burnbrae Group, is a substantial landlord in Germany and the Isle of Man, and owns the group Sleepwell Hotels.

If I was going to provide someone with a list of books that best expressed my current thinking on the Political Economy these would be my top ones:

1. The Law - While over a century old this books stands as the perfect intro to the ideas of Classical Liberalism. When you understand the core message of this book you understand why people oppose so many aspects of government action.
   
2. Seeing Like A State - The idea that society can be rebuilt from the top down is well demolished in this dense but important read. The concept of Legibility was a game changer for my brain.
   
3. Stubborn Attachments - This books presents a compelling philosophical argument for the importance of economic growth. It's hard to overstate how important getting the balance of economic growth vs other considerations actually is.
   
4. The Breakdown of Nations - A classic text on why the trend toward "bigger" isn't a good thing. While various nits can be picked with this book I think its general thesis is holding up well in our increasingly bifurcated age.
   
5. The Joy of Freedom - Lots of books, many objectively better, could have gone here but this book was my personal pivot point which sent me away from Socialism and towards capitalism. This introduction to "Libertarian Capitalism" is a bit dated now but it was powerful.
   
   There are, of course many more books that could go on this list. But the above list is a good sampling of my personal philosophy of political economy. It is not meant as a list of books to change your mind but simply as a list of books that are descriptive of my current belief that we should be orientated towards high (sustainable) economic growth & more decentralization.
   
   Some honorable mentions:
   
   As a self proclaimed "Libertarian Crunchy Con" I have to add The Quest for Community & Crunchy Cons
   
   The book The Fourth Economy fundamentally changed my professional direction in life.
   
   Anti-Fragile was another book full of mind blowing ideas and shifted my approach to many things.
   
   The End of Jobs is a great combination of The Fourth Economy & Anti-Fragile (among other concepts) into a more real-world useful set of ideas.
   
   Markets Not Capitalism is a powerful reminder that it is not Capitalism per se that is important but the transformational power of markets that need be unleashed.
   
   You will note that I left out pure economic books, this was on purpose. There are tons of good intro to econ type books and any non-trained economist should read a bunch from a bunch of different perspectives. With that said I am currently working my way through the book Choice and if it stays as good as it has started that will probably get added to my core list.
   
   So many more I could I list like The Left, The Right, & The State or The Problem of Political Authority and on it goes...
   I am still looking for a "manifesto" of sorts for the broad movement towards decentralization (I have a few possibilities on my 'to read list') so if you know of any that might fit that description let me know.

Hi, former Wall Street-er here. Sounds like you're more interested in fundamentals investing instead of technical? If so, read:

• The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Investing
  
• Ratio Analysis Fundamentals
  
• Best Practices for Equity Research Analysts
  
• Applied Equity Analysis
  
  The last two are fairly specific to the equity research career, but if you're doing fundamentals investing you'll be using the same principles.
  
  If instead you're interested in technical investing, Getting Started in Candlestick Charting is my go-to.

Pick one of these backtested signals before you sell QQQ, free with kindle prime https://www.amazon.com/Trading-Booms-Busts-Steve-Burns-ebook/dp/B0738MHNDW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1519275865&sr=8-4&keywords=trading+tech+books

QQQ has been great but will be taken out back and shot if we enter a bear market.

My two favorites of the year:

• Intelligent Fanatics
  
• Sapiens

If you lost money due to bad trade I suggest the following:

• https://www.amazon.com/Technical-Analysis-Beginners-Second-Following-ebook/dp/B018TEKU12
  
• https://www.amazon.com/Technical-Analysis-Stocks-Candlestick-Charts-ebook/dp/B07B292M45/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1525858931&sr=1-1&keywords=Technical+Analysis+of+Stocks+Using+Candlestick+Charts
  
  Both are really easy reads and shouldn't take more than a few days. You have two choices here, either be put off by your losses, or look at it as an education. Look at why your trades were bad and educate yourself. The best time is to do this is probably now as you have probably told yourself you will never let this happen again.
  
  Good Luck!!

Will check it out, thanks.

Seth Godin
has a book that got me started.

I must point out to you that the majority of the info that you read in school and in finance courses are related to the economy as a whole and tactics corporations use to make money. If you are interested in trading your own personal account, you would be better off buying a book on trading such as Toni Turner's amazing book

The Science of Stock Market Investment - Practical Guide to Intelligent Investors https://www.amazon.in/dp/B009XUI1X6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_39lNBb4HNA8EC

When it comes to investing, you MUST read ART & SCIENCE OF VALUE INVESTING by Scott Thompson: http://www.amazon.com/ART-SCIENCE-Value-Investing-ebook/dp/B00CS6GOQI/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1367972885&sr=8-1

Learn some terminology first

When you start looking into investment, you will find more than just balance sheet. E.g. Cashflow, Market Cap, P/E, dividend yield, payout ratio, debt to equity, etc.

It’s good to have some knowledge on those term, so that you can understand what other people are talking about
