Dark, The forward was written by PTJ. Does he say anything noteworthy? Well, he states the four greatest trading books of all time for the beginning trader: 1) Reminiscences by Lefevre 2) TAST by McGee and Edwards 3) The Elliott Wave Theorist by Pretcher and Forst 4) Market Wizards by Schwager He says he is adding Fisher's book to that list... The thing that amazes me [quoting PTJ] "...Having seen hundreds of traders matriculate through the doors here at Tudor Group, I am constantly amazed that virtually all of them have different ways of approaching and reaping profits from the marketplace..." nitro
========================== Number 4; Jack Schwager top trader books actually consist of 3 books Also worthy of note; Top trader William O Neill mentions Bernard Baruch favorably.
Baruch, I also found the first book to be a very tough read. His second one was as bad ... a really good case for using a ghost writer ... and didnt add very much to the first book. I did find that the ideas in both books spoke to me as a trader but his prescriptions for overcoming the fears seem less effective than his description of them. Anyone who wanted to look at his ideas first without struggling thru the writing can download the interview for Disciplined Trader by Thom Hartle from the TASC online PDF website http://store.yahoo.com/traderscom/-v15-c01-markdoup-pdf.html
