The Little Book of Market Wizards

Lessons from the Greatest Traders

De: Jack D. Schwager

Narrado por: Danny Campbell

An accessible look at the art of investing and how to adopt the practices of top professionals

What differentiates the highly successful market practitioners - the Market Wizards - from ordinary traders? What traits do they share? What lessons can the average trader learn from those who achieved superior returns for decades while still maintaining strict risk control? Jack Schwager has spent the past 25 years interviewing the market legends in search of the answers - a quest chronicled in four prior Market Wizards volumes.

In The Little Book of Market Wizards, Jack Schwager seeks to distill what he considers the essential lessons he learned in conducting nearly four dozen interviews with some of the world's best traders. The book delves into the mindset and processes of highly successful traders, providing insights that all traders should find helpful in improving their trading skills and results.

• Each chapter focuses on a specific theme essential to market success
• Describes how all market participants can benefit by incorporating the related traits, behaviors, and philosophies of the Market Wizards in their own trading
• Filled with compelling anecdotes that bring the trading messages to life, and direct quotes from the market greats that resonate with the wisdom born of experience and skill

Stepping clearly outside the narrow confines of most investment books, The Little Book of Market Wizards focuses on the value of understanding one's self within the context of successful investing.

Fabulous Summary

While the author describes this as a fitting introduction to the previous four market wizards books, as it happened, I read this after I had already finished the previous four. I can say it also serves as an outstanding summary of what came before. Certainly doesn’t replace reading and re-reading the indispensable, market, wizards books, But if you’re pressed for time, this is a great place to start.

MARKET WIZARDS GREATEST HITS

I’ve read or listened to all the MARKET WIZARDS books. As an active equity portfolio manager, some of the chapters in the various books lacked appeal to me (I’m never gonna arb mergers or trade currencies), but this GREATEST HITS edition was very on-point, pulling together some of the best concepts in one bundle.

really good

the entire series of books is great. this is a teaser for the entire series from audible but still a good listen

No new content

If you‘re familiar with the original Market Wizards books, there is absolutely nothing new here. Same stories and same quotes, just reassembled.

Not really helpful

If you’re familiar with who Ray Dalio, Warren Buffet are and what their basic ways of thinking, this will not provide much more insight for you. I listened to peoples stories hoping for a morsel of information but it never came.
