 no easy money November 1, 2008
For anyone who may think trading is easy and the rewards are great - think again. Martin Schwarts makes it clear that 99% of trading success is hard work and discipline. There are no free rides in the market.

A very funny book on trading. The description of Michael Steinhardt as Porky is hilarious. You are not going to learn specific technique on how to trade. If you are hoping to learn some mechanical way to make money in the financial markets, you will be deeply disappointed. This book is for people who already know something about trading and who want to get better. Some advices are:
1. Fit your trading habits to your personality. Everyone needs to understand himself so that he will find the "right" way to make money in the markets. Buzzy is a day trader because he loves to hear his cash register ring.
2. Without a methodology for trading you have no edge.
3. Become a winner by learning how to lose.
Entertaining and insightful March 8, 2008

This book pretty much tells the story of a trader named Marty Schwartz. It describes how he got started trading and evolved into what Barron's called a master trader. There was a lot of "ego" to read about and I almost stopped reading but the story got better. Instead of spending the whole book telling me how smart he was, he started talking about some trades that didn't go so well too. I actually learned from him as he described his errors and how he recovered. It helped me reduce my "pig" factor when I day trade. There was some humor in the book too which kept it fun to read.
So, this book isn't a how to book but it does indirectly give you some good advice to use in your trading. Its worth reading, I enjoyed it.
 One of the best books by far October 22, 2007

I was amazed at this guy. A lot of the practices he used then works now. Buzzy should be commended for putting his life story in such a vivid tale of success and almost death. I am thankful to have read this book. It has opened me up to another way of thinking and also validated a lot of the practices I do everyday. Buzzy, where is the sequel?
Tony Soprano meets the S&P 500 pit! April 9, 2007

I happened upon this book in a used bookstore, and bought it on a whim. All the way thru the book (read practically in one sitting), I kept thinking of how I was reading the story of Tony Soprano in his life as a day trader! Humerous, silly, engaging, challenging, stressful, vain, self-aggrandizing, amd more. I couldn't put it down, and I doubt you will want to either!
