5.0 out of 5 stars Real insight into trading, 22 April 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Pit Bull: Lessons from Wall Street's Champion Trader (Paperback)
If you are going to trade your own money, and want to know what it feels like, then read this book.

he tells his story well and gives a valuable insight into his progress from novice floor trader to succesfull trader.

He tells the story of a guy who doesnt trade other peoples money, does not sit on a bank trading desk, but really lets you feel what it is like to take your own hard earned cash and start trading where every day you know wether you are a winner or a loser.

If you want to trade for a living full time using your own money then read this.

5.0 out of 5 stars REALLY, REALLY, REALLY a must read!, 16 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Having been a broker for several years and having read countless publications on the subject, I had become somewhat blasé about finance-related books. PIT BULL changed all that. From the moment I picked up the book, I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!! While the markets were haywire in early January '99, I was in my building's lobby reading chapter-after-chapter of prose which I could only liken to the swings of the market. Marty Schwartz is a story-teller divine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Autobiography about Trading for a Living, 3 April 1999
By A Customer
This book was exceptional and I highly recommend it. Rather than viewing the author as arrogant I would rather describe "Buzzy" as confident, driven, skilled, and possibly a bit eccentric; with good reason of course. There is probably no business more psychologically demanding than trading. Mr. Schwartz' outlines the nuts and bolts of trading and how it applies to real life. In addition to being humurous, aspiring investors will find this book insightful: a wondrous read.

3.0 out of 5 stars I think that "Buzzy" is a bit full of himself.
Although the anecdotes of Wall St. traders are interesting to those who follow the markets, Buzzy milks his pain for all that it's worth. Read more
