Ouch. I have that book in my library, just never got to reading it (yet) because I hardly see anyone mention it worth reading. I had been planning to get to Triumph of the Optimists soon, because all my other books are so 'end of the worldish' right now. I had also been planning on 'Diary of a very bad year- Confessions of an anonymous hedge fund manager', but maybe I should just get to 'Trading Sardines', since Linda Raschke seems to get some fame in the Wizards' books. And... today I almost picked up 'Den of Thieves' at a thrift shop. But... I have a digital copy in my inventory as well... so finally I skipped on picking up something. Amazing!

Anyway to paraphrase tRump I like my expert traders to make, not lose, money.
