Customer Reviews

Incisive look at financial markets

A very readable book -- intelligently illustrates pitfalls & illusions of financial market investing. More anecdotal in approach, but certainly a classic of the "Where are the customer's yacht's" genre. Cuts through many of the falsehoods spread on the street. Well written and extensively researched.
