The New Market Wizards: Conversations with Americas Top Traders

Praise for The New Market Wizards "Jack Schwager simply writes the best books about trading I've ever read. These interviews always give me a lot to think about. If you like learning about traders and trading, you'll find that reading this book is time well spent." —Richard Dennis, President, The Dennis Trading Group, Inc. "Jack Schwager's deep knowledge of the markets and his extensive network of personal contacts throughout the industry have set him apart as the definitive market chronicler of our age." —Ed Seykota "Very interesting indeed!" —John Train, author of The Money Masters "Successful trading demands longtime experience because it requires firsthand knowledge. If there is a shortcut to this requirement, however, it is in reading about the experiences of others. Jack Schwager's book provides that shortcut. If you find yourself sweating upon occasion as you read, then you're as close to the trading experience as you can get without actually doing it yourself." —Robert R. Prechter, Jr., Editor, The Elliott Wave Theorist "Are great traders born or do they acquire their skills on the way up? . . . The New Market Wizards provides some interesting insights." — The Wall Street Journal "Provides unique insight into the arcane world of currency trading as well as other fast-moving markets such as options and commodities." — U.S. News & World Report "Should be required reading for anyone who selects managers for institutional or even personal portfolios." — Futures Industry
