No, I'm pretty sure thats not it. It was an autobiography. I SUSPECT it might be this one.... ...as I seem to remember there being a picture of a woman on the front, but I'm not 100% sure if it's the same one but was the best I could find. Seems trying to remember an obscure book I read 20 years ago is not as easy as it sounds.
The writing style seems very familiar as does the comment about sports illustrated, but I see the publication date of that article was January 1987 and I was pretty sure she wrote about the crash that happened in Oct of 87.
I read this back in high school ~20 years ago. "How to Make Money in Stocks" by William O'Neil. https://read.amazon.ca/kp/embed?asi...linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_a9n-zb68JFS5P
the art that doesn't change the fact that nancy goldstone might be the author of the book you are looking for.
