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

THE NEW MARKET WIZARDS

Some traders distinguish themselves from the herd. These supertraders make millions of dollars–sometimes in hours–and consistently outperform their peers.

As he did in his acclaimed national bestseller, Market Wizards, Jack Schwager interviews a host of these supertraders, spectacular winners whose success occurs across a spectrum of financial markets. These traders use different methods, but they all share an edge. How do they do it? What separates them from the others? What can they teach the average trader or investor?

In The New Market Wizards, these wildly successful traders relate the financial strategies that have rocketed them to success, as well as the embarrassing losses that have proven them all too human.

Meet the Wizards of Wall Street:
∗ Stan Druckenmiller, who, as manager of the Soros Quantum Fund, realized an average annual return of more than 38 percent on assets ranging between $2.0 and $3.5 billion
∗ William Eckhardt, a mathematician who, in collaboration with trader Richard Dennis, selected and trained the now–legendary circle known as the Turtles
∗ Bill Lipschutz, a former architect who, for eight years, was Salomon Brothers′ largest and most successful currency trader
∗ Blair Hull, a one–time blackjack player who began an options trading company with

Asking the questions that readers with an interest in the financial markets would love to pose to the financial superstars, and filled with candid appraisals, The New Market Wizards takes its place as a classic.

Review

"...they are the most highly readable investment books you will find...you′ll find them riveting and fun..." (Shares, 10 October 2002)

From the Inside Flap

Taps into the minds of trading superstars to reveal the secrets of their astonishing success You may not know their names, but they are the trading elite—a select group of super-moneymakers whose trading prowess has become the stuff of legend. They are speculators in everything from stocks and bonds to options and commodity futures who make millions—sometimes in a matter of hours—and leave their peers in the dust. In this enthralling sequel to his international bestseller, Market Wizards , Jack Schwager interviews these stars, asking the questions that everyone with an interest in the financial markets would love to know the answers to and receiving the kind of frank, incisive answers that make this book as much a page-turner as its predecessor. In these absorbing interviews with star performers in the financial markets, Schwager humanizes the mechanics and psychology behind the trading world across a spectrum of financial markets including stocks, futures, currencies, and options by individuals, investment firms, and group-trading computerized "money machines." One trader focuses on market response to news events, another calculates mathematical probabilities—one even cocks an ear to the noise level on the exchange floor. All rank assiduous research, self-confidence, a specific plan, and the courage to cut losses among essentials to success. None consider their trading gambling, but Schwager entertainingly argues that a successful trader needs many of the qualities of a good poker player. Although filled with insights that even professional traders will find valuable, Schwager's text remains entire accessible to the general reader. Interviews with spectacular winners across the full spectrum of financial markets, revealing how they do it and what, personally, separates them from the herd Superstar traders describe the financial strategies behind their phenomenal successes, as well as the painfully instructive lessons learned from their worst losses Throughout, Schwager provides valuable insight and analysis to help put interviewees' responses into perspective --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a brilliant read 5 Oct 2003
Format:Paperback
I've read parts of this book 4 or 5 times through, not only is it a brilliant read but provides undying insights into the mind of succesful traders. This was one of the first books I purchased on trading and over 40 books and a lot of profitable trades later, I rate it as the best read of them all. Once you pick this up you wont be able to put it down!

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT! 29 Feb 2000
Format:Paperback
Excellent book to give the investment novice an insight to the world of trading. More than anything, Schwager gives an interesting background into the characters of each of the Market Wizards. If only all investment books were this fun to read! Once you start, you won't be able to put it down. Schwager should think about writing an updated Market Wizards III.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a broker... I bought it... you should, too! 21 Feb 1998
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
If you don't want to spend twenty years and untold sums learning about trading by doing it yourself, learn from the experts in the time it takes to read this book. A great companion to Schwager's FUTURES series, all three should be in any trader's or wanna be trader's library. THE NEW MARKET WIZARDS has what it advertises... market wisdom.
