Below are direct links to each book. Check first that the Kindle price is $0 (“0.00 to Buy”), then buy it to own permanently. Do not click “Read for Free”.

Grab them now while they are free, and read later at your convenience. You can read Kindle eBooks on smartphones or on any computer via web browser.
I enjoy reading these books, but I’m always careful when reading about finely-diced backtested strategies that worked well in the past. Before you put your hard-earned money at risk, please realize that even if they continue to work (which is in no way guaranteed given how markets tend to weed out edges), they will still be hard to stick to in real life. At some time, you will underperform other strategies for an extended period of time. You must ride out those low periods in order to achieve any sort of market-beating returns. In my opinion, the fancier the strategy, the harder it is to keep faith.
I tried to download the Meb Faber books… and it appears I have to start a 30 day trial to Kindle Unlimited… which is then $10 per month. Is it possible to get with just kindle app?? I have not been able to download into my Kindle App. Is the KindleUnlimited trial required? Thx!
They don’t seem to be free through Amazon unless I sign up for Kindle Unlimited. Am I missing something?
