Financial Guru Reviews

Published a couple of years after the first "Trader Vic" book, this volume takes the reader to an advanced level of Sperandeo's investment strategies and philosophy. As with the first book, it contains plenty of practical knowledge and market observations. In particular, I love the final chapters dealing with psychology and the morality of wealth. Although I myself am a market veteran of many years standing and as an investor, I feel I have a good handle on both market behaviour and personal mental control, whenever I need to re-evaluate my strategies, I turn to the "Trader Vic" books first. There is no greater compliment that I can pay.
