Good, gossipy book of vignettes

The people who are looking to gain valuable insight as to the workings of the market from this book are sadly mistaken. This is a book, along the lines of James Grant's book, that gives a number of vignettes and minature biographies of the leading money makers of our times, such as T. Rowe Price, Buffet, Templeton, Rainwater, Cabot, Fisher, Graham, Lightbown, Neff, Robertson, Rogers, Soros, Carret, Steinhardt, Wanger, Wilson, Lynch. You will essentially find that there is no "one" style that is successful, which lends credence to the theory that the markets are quite efficient, and some of these guys are victims of luck as well as skill.

The fact that it was written in early 2000 is a plus, not a minus, as you can trace what happened to them after the crash.

GOod book, the author is a bit preachy, egotistical and gossips about his subjects, but that's OK.

If you are interested in finance then you will benefit - a lot.

This is a wonderful book. It is highly probable that you will learn a lot from the Money Masters. I bet that you will read it more than once. If you buy it and don't like it then I will buy it from you at my average cost.

In Money Masters of Our Time, John Train once again displays his ability to explain clearly the strategies, experience, and human qualities of those money masters who have stood the test of time as well as newer ones. He brings together experts who represent various investment "schools" -- growth, value, technology, emerging markets, specialty companies, micro-caps, turnarounds, top down, bottom up, and others?clarifying their similarities and differences and showing how diverse methods and techniques work.

Whether contrasting the long-term approach of Warren Buffett with the "relentless pursuit" style of Peter Lynch or distilling the principles of market timing or expounding a list of investment "don'ts," John Train makes the collective wisdom of the greatest, most successful investors available to all, professional and amateur alike.
