Hedge Fund Market Wizards: How Winning Traders Win

If you are in the derivatives trading side of finance you should read all of them

Eines der besten Bücher seiner Art.

Being already a fan of Jack's books, I might be a bit biaised but I found this one was a real masterpiece. The approaches of the interviewed traders are very different from each other, but the link between them - with the notable exception of Jimmy Balodimas - is the way they control their risk. Two things led me to consider this book as Schwager's best work: the extreme interactivity throughout the interviews, and the 'actionability' of the traders' advice. The pages dedicated to Ed Thorpe are the most fascinating i.m.h.o.

I started years ago reading the original Market Wizards and then ended up working for one of the wizards in his firm for a decade. I have read the other market wizards books but then there was a period of silence. Now Jack Schwagner has created another fantastic book. This book feels fresh and has new content with a new generation of fund managers. As with the original book I think this one will be remembered for a long time. It is easy to dismiss the interviews but every time I read one of Jack Schwagner's interviews I learn something new. I find it useful to read every word and make notes in the margin. Sometimes I find a particular issue and refer to the books to think through how others would solve the problem. Whenever I interview any would be employee one of the first questions I ask is have they read the Market Wizards series and then ask them to discuss their favourite wizard. In my humble opinion anyone looking to work in a hedge fund or in a bank serving hedge funds is not credible if they have not read the entire Market Wizards series.
