Description of Stock Market Wizards

This decade has witnessed the most dynamic bull market in US stock history, a collapse in commodity prices, and dramatic failures in some of the world′s leading hedge funds. How have some traders managed to significantly outperform a stock market that,until recently, moved virtually straight up? This book will feature interviews with those traders who achieved phenomenal success, from an Ohio farmer who has constantly made triple–digit returns, to a Turkish émigré who transformed a $16000 account into $6 million, to spectacularly successful professional hedge–fund managers such as Michael Lancer of the Lancer Group and Michael Masters of Capital Management. Today, the action is on the stock market. This book will be a must–have for that sector, as well as for the legions of individuals who eagerly bought Market Wizards.
