5 out of 5 starsRequired reading in today's economic climate, 2008-05-02
Although this book is (C) 1994 -- the edition I have, anyway -- it is amazing how the content resonates with today's economic climate.

For example, it tells in chapter 5 how in 1992 the banks were reluctant to lend after being burnt in 1989. Sounds familiar? That was as a result of the bursting of a credit expansion bubble. Also sounds familiar?

I would consider this book to be required reading for traders and investors right now. The semi-academic style might be a little tough on the brain, but should appeal particularly to students of economics.

It's not without humor, and I particularly enjoyed the story of Pierre and Sasson: who traded a horse repeatedly between themselves, each time bidding up the price and borrowing against the increased 'equity' in the horse. And finally sold that $10 horse to a Harvard MBA for $2,700! Very funny, but with a serious message.

5 out of 5 starsThe tradition continues, 2007-11-21
First, there was Jesse Livermore. Next, there was Nicolas Darvas. And, there was William O'Neil. Then, alas, here he is. Victor Sperandeo! The tradition continues.

4 out of 5 starsVery informative, 2007-03-27
I found the book to be very informative in both the fundamental and technical aspects of stock speculation. The book has plenty of historical and statistical data for the stock markets that some may find useful.

5 out of 5 starsGreat book from a great trader, 2006-08-15
Mr. Sperandeo's books belong to the classics of trading literature, and yet or perhaps of this, they are not as widely known as they deserve to. They combine a superb research, common sense, and straightforward approach to trading that are far from ubiquitous in the literature that more and more frequently revolves about esoteric nonsense, hype, and self-promotion. Not so in these books, written by a master trader and fund manager with outstanding credentials. Anyone aspiring to successful trading should give these books more than a cursory consideration. There is something for everyone in his books, from beginners to advanced aficionados of trading, so nobody will feel disappointed. Their scope is broader than in many other books on trading, which certainly reflects author's great erudition. His gentle style and numerous personal stories from his trading career guarantee that the books are a pleasure to read. These are books that you may want to revisit time and again to learn more or to get a new perspective on things. There is some overlap between Vic I and Vic II, but definitely not great enough to dismiss Vic II as a rehash of Vic I. I recommend both of them highly to all of my clients and to everyone interested in intelligent, particularly long-term, speculation in the financial markets.

5 out of 5 starsStrong Materials, 2006-06-19
This book has been read and re-read many times over. It has gone over with multiple highlighters. The material is solid. It is a little rehash of Trader Vic I but still is awesome material. I use it consistently as a reference guide. I am always learning things from it. Having said that, I do not consider myself a successful bottom line trader, nevertheless, an intelligent one. I don't trade for a living or even on the side anymore, but this is one book I won't donate to the library.
