Investment Illusions : A Savvy Wall Street Pro Explores Popular Misconceptions About the Markets

Rating:
Summary: Incisive look at financial markets
Review: A very readable book -- intelligently illustrates pitfalls & illusions of financial market investing. More anecdotal in approach, but certainly a classic of the "Where are the customer's yacht's" genre. Cuts through many of the falsehoods spread on the street. Well written and extensively researched.

Summary: Why write if you don't have anything to say
Review: Short stories about the darker side of investing. Nice if you can read in the investment colums of your local newspaper, but there are better books on the market worth buying.

Summary: Interesting
Review: This book covers many myths regarding the stock market in a readable, interesting way. However, the book overly focused on the bad side. Although the book is suitable for beginners in investing, long time value investors might not get the same portion of benefit. Most of the advise are the view of value investors. What I like most is the book contains a great deal of financial history, dated back to 16th century.
