• Inside the House of Pain
  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 it has "ceased to exist" (according to the WSJ). The investment banking model has gone up in smoke. More than one featured player in "House" - like Dwight Anderson's Ospraie fund for example - has violently gone... more info

• Wall Steet bound....then read this.
  As a professional in the ETF business I highly recommend this book. After I read this book I gave it to my son as he recently graduated college and is planning a career on Wall Street-- It's that kind of book. Steven is well connected in the Hedge Fund world and this book is a testament to that. If you buy it to just read Jim Rogers section - your money will be well spent.

• Just a waste of time for individual investors.
  I am the trader who is managing EZ Stock Options . com. I have been researching, developing, backtesting, and improving winning trading strategies for the past 7 years. This book has no useful information for investors. It is just talking about how in general (no details at all about strategies) he has made money for Yale University by managing their fund. Don't waste your money and more importantly your time on this book.
