Summary: the magnum opus of trading psychology
Review: I can honestly say there is more wisdom in this book than in all the other books in my trading library combined. I have read this book at least half a dozen times, and I will reread it once a year, every year, for as long as I continue to trade. There is wisdom on practically every page.Technicals and techniques aside, this book is without a dout, hands down, the greatest treatise on trading psychology ever written. It is as applicable today as it was a century ago, and if there is still trading going on 500 years from now, it will be just as applicable then. Human nature never changes. The best of the best traders understand the markets because they intuitively grasp the basics of psychology. If you want to understand trading psychology, in others and in yourself, buy this book. You will get more out of the tenth read than the first.

Summary: Pearls of Wisdom
Review: This book is a great study of human nature. It follows the life of a stock trader from rags to riches, back to rags again then riches, next to a nasty "incident" then to more riches, finally rags for the last time and then on to millions! The book is not a "how-to" on investing, but rather a collection of stories each of which offer a lesson in investing and human nature. It shows how easily the price of a stock can be manipulated (for a short period of time), how unreliable "tips" are, and the advantages of pyramiding your stock purchases. I found the first half of the book (the younger years) to be much more entertaining than the latter half (the big money deals), but overall the book is excellent. I was disappointed in the fact that the book did not include the crash of 29 and the depression. I would like to know how Larry handled that situation.

Summary: Can't put it down...
Review: I'd have to say first that this book will not tell you how to trade technicals, nor how to read the financial pages. That being said, I found this masterpiece a riveting story of a man who won and lost millions of dollars in a time when thousands would set you up for life... His technique for trading the tape and his rise as an investor is truely a traders dream come true. Starting at 15, trading through the drepression, and manipulating the markets of his time is a wonderful refresher to todays trading. If only I could have been alive in such a time in history... to be able to corner a market and sell another to unload your numerous possitions must have been unbelievable to witness, let alone accomplish. If you like stories of success you'll love this book...

Summary: Good historical stories but....
Review: If you're looking for some historical stories, thats the book. Keep in mind the author is not a trader so we see many things like... "I have a friend who..." or "I met a guy that..." There is way to much hype on this book. Not a bad book but don't be too anxious to read it... you might be disapointed.

Summary: Tastes just like gooooood aged wine
Review: This classic book covers the stock market in the stone-age. It starts at the primitive day-trading-firms which were called the bucket-shops, where speculators were betting against the house. No stock was really bought or sold, but speculators would gamble on the direction of a stock giving certain odds to the house. I found the history and the story to be extremely fascinating. The lessons and clices were of great value and hold true in the stock market today just as they did 70 years ago. i don't want to give all the content away, so I will just say that I highly recommend reading this book.

Summary: Read and Study this first!
Review: This is how we can learn from History. Although the book was written over seventy years ago, it brings through some hard-earned truths and lessons for those of us that dabble or trade in the market. I'm reading it now and just lost about $4000.00 in gains (on the table). I knew I shouldn't have gotten out but was just too greedy or scared to stay in. Read, learn and take heart! It's true what he says! Seems like the more things change, the more everything is really the same. The book is not dry...reads like a novel. A good read even if you aren't into trading.

Summary: Human nature never change
Review: In this book I enjoyed the psychological side of the stock market (greed end fear). I enjoyed the historical perspective too, for instance the author explained the stockmarket evolution during World War One. This book gives you a lot of advice for your own trading.
