How many of the 'Market Wizards' blew up?

  1. perhaps i was unduly impressed. discovered the source of the wizard bio postings is dubious WIKIPEDIA-likely self inflated promotional material filled in by said actors======-- wherein the exact filing has been copied and reposted here.

    OK agreed not the best source of true info but there is little else, unless you have the time.

    Would make an interesting book if anybody felt inclined ?

  4. He's one of the best. Marty Schwartz has an excellent reputation in the trading community.

  5. BTW, Wikipedia is a valid source. The wizards are hugely popular, and serve as a role model for many aspiring traders.

    Nothing wrong with that. How can we blame them for being so successful. They fought hard for their own trading edge and finally found it.

    I've found my edge and I'm a successful trader. The wizards greatly influenced me, my thinking as a trader.

    If you haven't found your edge yet, why blame the wizards? Just keep on looking.

    Michael Lauer was the one convicted of stealing investor funds.
