The Nature Of Risk: Stock Market Survival And The Meaning Of Life

Reviews

[James]

I read this book because it was recommended in another book I read,
the author is totally scatter brained.
Jumping from one bit of trivia to another.

And it is loaded with cliche's like:
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Many comments about companies that no longer exist
and stock market action that occurred long ago and wouldn't be interesting to a person who wasn't in the market in the 60's & 70's.
