"Though written over 70 years ago, it applies today just as it did in the 1930s. This is because history and human behavior tends to repeat itself irregardless of mistakes made in the past. For those planning to trade or invest in stocks or commodities, this is an essential book to help level the playing field. You get an understanding of the mentality behind some of the players in the markets. No doubt, I will read it again and study it."

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator Listener Reviews

" Excellent book. Really navigates through the mental cycles of a trader. You will learn something every time you finish it. "
— Jesus Delgado, 10/26/2016 -
" This book should be obligatory reading for anyone who works in financial markets. The rationale behind anti bucket shop legislation, and its application to modern financial instruments, becomes clear as you learn how these establishments functioned. From a behavioural finance perspective this is also a fascinating and very early look at the pitfalls of investing. "
