SOMETHING TO READ - Market Wizards by Jack Schwager - a collection of interviews of a group of successful traders in the 1970s/80s.
This is a classic to read and enjoy.
How do the world's most successful traders amass tens, hundreds of
millions of dollars a year? Are they masters of an occult knowledge,
lucky winners in a random market lottery, natural-born virtuosi—Mozarts
of the markets? In search of an answer, bestselling author Jack D.
Schwager interviewed dozens of top traders across most financial
markets. While their responses differed in the details, all of them
could be boiled down to the same essential formula: solid methodology +
proper mental attitude = trading success. In Market Wizards
Schwager lets you hear, in their own words, what those super-traders had
to say about their unprecedented successes, and he distils their
responses down into a set of guiding principles you can use to become a
trading star in your own right.
- Features interviews with superstar money-makers including Bruce Kovner, Richard Dennis, Paul Tudor Jones, Michel Steinhardt, Ed Seykota, Marty Schwartz, Tom Baldwin, and more
- Tells the true stories behind sensational trading coups, including the one about the trader who turned $30,000 into $80 million, the hedge fund manager who's averaged 30% returns every year for the past twenty-one years, and the T-bond futures trader who parlayed $25,000 into $2 billion in a single day!
