I could not put it down...best trading book I have read yet!
While this book is not overly strong on technical details, it is excellent reading: well written and the author is liberal in showing his successess and his mistakes with equal candor. I consider this a "must read" for stock or comodiities traders/speculators. Marrty Schwartz discuss his methods that made him a champion trader, and gives one example of his "sheet of boxes that he prepares and uses daily, but I would have like a little more detail there. I like how he had to balance his family and his health with trading. His stories all have a point he is putting across.....well worth the money! Once I started. I couldn't put it down!!! If he writes another book, I'll buy it! The best trading book I have read so far!

Very Fun Financial Read!
Here's a fun read in one of my favorite areas....dreaming of making a killing in the stock market. So much of this book is how I personally approached the stock market....giving up fundamental analysis for the glamour of technical trading....chasing down the perfect system whether it was Dow Theory, Elliot Wave, Joe Granville, or the obcure Magic T Theory (I thought that I was the only who really knew this one). The stories in this book are very entertaining like gambling stories. What I like most is the frank discussion of methodology...tactics that Buzzy shares....so similar to my own approach. If you are a Baby Boomer amateur technical stock market trader you'll probably love this book like I did. It's all about us and the 80's & 90's...pre-day trading.

A great read!
As a professional trader I am always looking for the "edge". This book is weak on actual trading methodologies. But I really enjoyed hearing about his daily life and routines as a trader. Especially what it's like when things go against you as they eventually will if you are in this game long enough.I had trouble putting the book down. Highly recommended.
Woops, just got a fill, gotta go!
