Great story

Loved the story itself. there's a lot of pointers too about trading. Can really recommended this book.

If "all of Philosphy is just foot notes to Plato"

... so is speculation since this seminal work.
["Progress is an illusion with a future."]

that was fun and useful.

do you trade crypto? here ya go. haha
lots of good insight into how it was, regulations, and all presented in story format which is a nice alternative to traditional eco lit

Just Extremely Excercised Excellence

Exceptionally Witty, Intelligent & Humerous. Loved It! And the narrator is coffee to the ears.

Must read

The story i superb. One can learm much about the stock market (for me it was not to be a speculator bit a fundamentalist - suply and demand is THE KEY in this busines). The narrator was dull and Boeing. No emotions, He should rather read books for children before sleep than this kind of books.

A good teaching book on the markets

In this book we learned about the markets about 100 years ago. The activities of the traders then seem to be similar to the traders now. Their patterns of action seem to be similar to the patterns of action now. As Won listens to the book he lets us know how we should behave if we are in the markets now. The author seems to be knowledgeable of the markets. If you listen carefully to the book many good lessons will be learned. The book is cited by many. Since it has lasted nearly a century and continues to be cited, it is likely a solid book. A prudent investor should read Or listen to it. This listening was my second time through the book.

History can still be entertaining

I thought this book would be predictable and dry! Boy was I wrong great narration and was intrigued the whole way through!

classic

amazing story, works even today
humans dont change
market always the same, but faster now

timeless book

I was unsure about listening to this because it was written so long ago, but there was no need to worry. it's still relevant and it's a great book.

Maybe I've missed the point but..

I was looking forward to learn new things which Inwould use in stock investing but only a few first chapters and last two chapters were at least a bit interesting in this direction. If I would knew it I wouldn't buy it. It is rather a good bed time story. One up on wall st. by Peter Lynch is still (one of) the best I can recommend. Plus Dandho Investor ;-)
