书籍简介：

在线阅读本书 "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. The investor's need to believe somebody is matched by the financial advisor's need to make a nice living. If one of them has to be disappointed, it's bound to be the former." — John Rothchild, Author, A Fool and His Money , Financial Columnist, Time magazine Humorous and entertaining, this book exposes the folly and hypocrisy of Wall Street. The title refers to a story about a visitor to New York who admired the yachts of the bankers and brokers. Naively, he asked where all the customers' yachts were? Of course, none of the customers could afford yachts, even though they dutifully followed the advice of their bankers and brokers. Full of wise contrarian advice and offering a true look at the world of investing, in which brokers get rich while their customers go broke, this book continues to open the eyes of investors to the reality of Wall Street.

书友短评：

@ K2 "This book was first published in 1940 and is now in its 4th edition. The funniest book ever written about investing, it lightly delivers many truly important messages on the subject." – Warren Buffett ( An insightful and witty satire of professional investing and Wall Street itself, just as was stated in the recommendation, a book "that will provoke you, teach you, and crack you up all at once". The argument that Wall Street is something of a playground for self-righteous foolish egos trying to predict the unpredictable may apply to any market. @ 谁家的鸡 There are certain things that cannot be adequately explained to a virgin either by words or pictures. Nor can any description that I might offer here even approximate what it feels like to lose a real chunk of money that you used to own. @ John Plus ça change, plus c'est la même.The burnt customer certainly prefers to believe that he has been robbed rather than that he has been a fool on the advice of fools.第一版是1940年的，我看的是1967年精装的 Space age edition，和1940年的内容一样。以马克吐温的方式调侃华尔街，独到、锋利。
