Detailed description
Hedge Fund Market Wizards will be a modern day sequel to the highly successful Market Wizards and New Market Wizards written over 20 years ago. These two earlier volumes have become classics in the investment literature and have been read by virtually every hedge fund manager, as well as by a much broader lay audience. This new volume in the series will follow the same effective formula used by its predecessors. The book will devote a chapter to each of a broad array of highly successful traders, ranging widely in the markets they trade and their methodologies, but sharing in their achievement of superior performance. Each chapter, following the original format, will include an introductory section, a core section based on an interview with the trader, and a conclusion section that seeks to draw useful trading and investment lessons illustrated by the trader's approach and advice.

Quote from TraDaToR:

Have you guys read "Hedge Funds story" from Steven Drobny? It was quite good IMO, same subject( Hedge fund traders ) and format( interviews ala Market Wizards).


The fund of one of the guy in this book has collapsed!:D
Another one in Stock Market Wizards were also in trouble. Schwager had removed him from the reprint of the book! :D

Although I enjoy reading this kind of books, it doesn't mean those guys are really good traders!
 
Quote from illiquid:

Jack finally has the chapters listed on Amazon. You can read through the table of contents now to see the traders interviewed in the book.
 
great..one more fluff piece on trading I am not buying....
P.S. it is a great idea on writing of HF managers who are always looking for business anyway. Michael Covel should sue him for idea plagiarism. It took a long time for Schwager to get the message... he is getting old, btw as big as an asshole Covel is he is a superb marketer and business man.
