Customer Reviews

Required reading in today's economic climate
Although this book is (C) 1994 -- the edition I have, anyway -- it is amazing how the content resonates with today's economic climate.

For example, it tells in chapter 5 how in 1992 the banks were reluctant to lend after being burnt in 1989. Sounds familiar? That was as a result of the bursting of a credit expansion bubble. Also sounds familiar?

I would consider this book to be required reading for traders and investors right now. The semi-academic style might be a little tough on the brain, but should appeal particularly to students of economics.

It's not without humor, and I particularly enjoyed the story of Pierre and Sasson: who traded a horse repeatedly between themselves, each time bidding up the price and borrowing against the increased 'equity' in the horse. And finally sold that $10 horse to a Harvard MBA for $2,700! Very funny, but with a serious message.

The tradition continues
First, there was Jesse Livermore. Next, there was Nicolas Darvas. And, there was William O'Neil. Then, alas, here he is. Victor Sperandeo! The tradition continues.

Very informative
I found the book to be very informative in both the fundamental and technical aspects of stock speculation. The book has plenty of historical and statistical data for the stock markets that some may find useful.
