About this item

"Once I picked it up I did not put it down until I finished. . . . What Schwed has done is capture fully-in deceptively clean language-the lunacy at the heart of the investment business."-- From the Foreword by Michael Lewis, Bestselling author of Liar's Poker". . . one of the funniest books ever written about Wall Street."-- Jane Bryant Quinn, The Washington Post"How great to have a reissue of a hilarious classic that proves the more things change the more they stay the same. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent."-- Michael Bloomberg"It's amazing how well Schwed's book is holding up after fifty-five years. About the only thing that's changed on Wall Street is that computers have replaced pencils and graph paper. Otherwise, the basics are the same.
