 Still a brilliant read October 5, 2003
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I've read parts of this book 4 or 5 times through, not only is it a brilliant read but provides undying insights into the mind of succesful traders. This was one of the first books I purchased on trading and over 40 books and a lot of profitable trades later, I rate it as the best read of them all. Once you pick this up you wont be able to put it down!
Correctly addresses psychology not prop trading secrets August 16, 2002

Readers who wanted to have insights into the minds of traders have definitely got it here. There are a handful of technical inconsistencies but they're insignificant compared to the wealth of information and advice available. Of course NO book can tell you a secret trading strategy (just like no technical trading system that actually makes money will be sold). But the key message of emotional control and avoiding psychological biases is what leads to good trade initiation/exit as well as risk control. Those who think there is a conspiracy to keep the big ideas secret within a club obviously didn't read about the humble backgrounds that many of the super-traders came from.

There isn't much Finish investment books available so I tried one made in USA. Not quite what I expected but still money well spent. I must say very motivating book, which tells what kind of attitude, a good investor needs to have to succeed
I LOVE IT! February 29, 2000

Excellent book to give the investment novice an insight to the world of trading. More than anything, Schwager gives an interesting background into the characters of each of the Market Wizards. If only all investment books were this fun to read! Once you start, you won't be able to put it down. Schwager should think about writing an updated Market Wizards III.
Insightful, easy reading with valuable lessons August 5, 1999

A great read for those daring souls considering the life of a trader. The traders interviewed all provide valuable lessons that could have saved me thousands of dollars (or more) if I had only read this book sooner. It also puts things in perspective when you read how much timeand effort these guys put into their work to become the best. Very enlightening, although I found the book to get a bit dry in the middle.
