Customer Review: Anytime someone makes you a lot of money, you tend to become a fan. And so I am a fan of Jim Rogers. I believe this man makes a lot of sense when he talks economics. I learned this by reading his earlier books about driving around the world. He admits to being a lousy trader. But he is great at... more info
Customer Review: The book deserves attention, not necessarily for the qualities of the writer, but for introducing a biased opinion in the world that was supposed to pertain only to "un-opinionated" academics. Worth reading if you have an open mind, no matter of the direction chosen in career and life. It gives... more info
Customer Review: It's a pleasure to say it: "House" is a worthy successor to Jack Schwager's "Market Wizards" series. Having first read it a few years ago, it's a shame I'm only just getting off my duff to review it now - in October 2008 - after so much has happened. As of this writing, Wall Street as we know... more info
Customer Review: Bookstaber's "A Demon of our own Design" shouldn't be missed by anyone interested in what is going on in the financial markets today. His many years leading the risk management areas at top financial firms gave him a vantage point that he openly shares with his readers. His main topic is centered... more info
Customer Review: This is an interesting story of a hedge fund manager who becomes obsessed with a short position in a company that seems, at a minimum, a little shady. None of the characters in the book are likeable and at the end of the book it's not clear if Einhorn is making a mountain out of a molehill or not.... more info
Customer Review: The first half of the book talks about philosophy. He could have just put in one chapter and the reader would have got the point. The second half of the books talks about the financial market. An average read.
Customer Review: this is a rather lame attempt of writing a fresh story about the trade of oil in Dubai. It is choppy and collge freshman like in its approach. I struggled thru this.
Customer Review: This book has three parts. First, Alan Greenspan tells us about his background, schooling, associations, intellectual influences, and business career. Then he tells us about his public life, from unpaid campaign aide to Nixon in 68 to chairman of the Federal Reserve for 18 years, ending in 2006.... more info
Customer Review: Its a great book, I came on here to buy another copy for a friend who runs a well known hedge fund. Well organized? No, not really, but it doesn't matter. It really does capture the flavor of the world nicely. The quality of the writing is substantially better than expected - which is to say... more info
Customer Review: Poorly written. He admits he's splitting his audiences and the result is a mess of a book where the big themes are well known to even the most remedial investor. If you're really interested in his ideas all that's needed is a video interview search of which there are numerous.
