Customer Review: Based on all the reviews on this book, and being a fervent student for continuous learning. I'm making it my duty to further study the markets.
Customer Review: The author's point of view is surprisingly neutral. He has nothing to sell except his belief that the changes in the markets over the last twenty years have increased susceptibility to huge price drops. This is due to the need to sell into a falling market, a common feature of hedging strategies. He... more info
This book is everything a book shouldn't be, cheap flimsy see through paper with blurry print. If you are going to buy this book please save your eyes and money and pick up a second hand copy from an earlier printing that you can enjoy reading.

Customer Review: A bunch of interviews with traders. Some interesting and some less interesting, but that can be expected. You are bound to find some of the interviews very interesting. The book is probably best if you have a couple of years of trading experience, but it can certainly be read by a novice as well.more info
Customer Review: E. Chancellor's book doesn't cover the last two `bullae' (the dot.com and the real estate ones), but his analysis of former bubbles gives also a perfect insight into these. For the author, speculative manias are the Carnivals of capitalism, a `Feast of Fools'. Their essence is a Utopian... more info
