I agree. The parts of that book concerning losing as an addiction are fabulous. A truly unique way of viewing trading. The ta stuff is ok too. I may reread it myself. "How I trade for a living" by Gary Smith is also good reading. He had been trading and losing for 19 years before he actually got it together, studied his mistakes, and vowed never to have an unprofitable month again. It's got some good info on using consenus, fund timing, junk bonds, overseas funds, and other topics that don't usually get discussed by todays momo traders. He is not a perma bull but never sells short either. He went from $2200 in 85 to over a million in 2000. Not too bad, even considering the mega bull we have had. Hopefully he didn't get his arse handed to him during the bear!
