Like its predecessor "Market Wizards", this book offers practical advice on investing from some of the most prestigious Wall Street professional in a personal, anecdotal style. With inside stories of both the brilliant successes and the self-inflicted failures experienced by some of the biggest traders and investors in the game, Jack Schwager shows even small investors how to avoid pitfalls and make the most of their money.
