THE MARKET WIZARD THREAD
- Thread starter candletrader

Candletrader,
These is a book called Masters of the Market which is a book on Australian traders and fund managers. Most of the interviews are related to intitutional types, but there is one interview with an option trader who made about 30 million prior the NASDAQ boom then lost most of it trying to short tech stocks through 2000. It's a great interview.
Well worth reading if you can get your hands on it.

Thanks guys for your contributions, which are much appreciated....
boris schlossberg: millionaire traders.
came out last year, he posts on ET (and his thread was a helpful thread, not a self-promoting one) periodically...
i consider the book better than market wizards for individual traders, because the traders (though most of them are unknown to the average person) aren't superstars, but people who make money on a regular basis without (generally) OPM. they use a variety of different methods, and boris summarizes each chapter with the lessons of each trader.
great read.

I have noticed that the richest guys from Market Wizards and new and made their money mostly in Forex and futures..
and not in stocks..!?
Bruce, Paul tudor, Druckenmiller,..
But many of them have not achieved great return the last years, for example Bruce, who's fund have not gone more than 3-4% lately..
I liked Paul tudor jones, his has really done it well since the interview.

Do you ever get the feeling that some of the gurus of trading are holding the vital bits back ? Or is it really that they are pretending to know a lot more than they are telling. Perhaps saving a bit up for the next book while putting in just enough to sell the present book. We obviously donât know everything they know but is the bit we donât know what they know, worth knowing ? Now that is the question.
Could it be that they are having a good laugh at the rest of us going round in circles trying to do something that is possibly impossible i.e. telling the future and getting paid as well ?
Anyone got Donald Rumsfeltâs address ? Coming to think of it he really didnât seem to know much about anything let alone what he should have known about and was highly paid to know about.

TraderVic Sperandio was awesome with his 1-900 number. He was wrong alot but those calls were awesome, sounded like he was drunk and flipping a coin half the time. Someone who deserves to be on that list is TraderRich Schlegel. Of all the advisors/gurus I've known, he's the best.
