"Fear keeps you from making as much money as you ought to"
I have reviewed a few books and had some reservations about reviewing "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" because there are hundreds of positive reviews out there already for this book. After all, this is the bible of stock trading. Only a complete amateur, or total beginner would trade in the stock market without reading this book first! I will try to keep this review short. Basically, if ...

When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management

Roger Lowenstein

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2001

Entertaining read on complex subject
It's a common story, a group of extremely talented and smart individuals done in by their own hubris, greed, and carelessness.

There is also good storytelling here of a largely unkown firm of a couple hundred people, that nearly took down several ...

Short Term Capital Irrationality
Roger Lowenstein details how the partners of "Long Term Capital Management" let greed and ego overwhelm them. LTCM was a hedge fund that was supposed to use arbitage to make money at low risk. It worked for a while, but then lots of people started getting in on the act. The rational thing to do, under the circumstances, would have been to cut back, and look for a new fields of endevour. ...

Excellent Narrative about Growth & Value Investings History
This first tape contained keen insights regarding Ben Graham, the dean of value investing. Unfortunately, the second tape regarding growth investing was a little slow. Overall the tapes were very gold.
