The Go-Go Years "The Go-Go Years is not to be read in the usual manner of Wall Street classics. You do not read this book to see our present situation reenacted in the past, with only the names changed. You read it because it is a wonderful description of the way things were in a different time and place." -From the Foreword by Michael Lewis The Go-Go Years is the harrowing and humorous story of the growth stocks of the 1960s and how their meteoric rise caused a multitude of small investors to thrive until the devastating market crashes in the 1970s. It was a time when greed drove the market and fast money was being made and lost as the "go-go" stocks surged and plunged. Included are the stories of such high-profile personalities as H. Ross Perot who lost $450 million in one day, Saul Steinberg's attempt to take over Chemical Bank, and the fall of America's "Last Gatsby, " Eddie Gilbert. Praise for The Go-Go Years "Those for whom the stock market is mostly a spectator sport will relish the book's verve, color, and memorable one-liners." -New York Review of Books "Please don't take The Go-Go Years too much for granted: as effortlessly as it seems to fly, it is nonetheless an unusually complex and thoughtful work of social history." -New York Times "Brooks's great contribution is his synthesis of all the elements that made the 1960s the most volatile in Wall Street history . and making so much material easily digestible for the uninitiated." -Publishers Weekly "Brooks . is about the only writer around who combines a thorough knowledge of finance with the ability to perceive behind the dance of numbers 'high, pure, moral melodrama on the themes of possession, domination, and belonging.'" -Time

读后感

★★★★☆ 可以快速看一下，不必一字一句的读。整体很杂乱，但还是有一些看点。 可以详细看一下第六章，讲蔡至勇（Gerald Tsai）（1929-2008）的，迄今为止华尔街最成功的华人投资者，很多牛人写的书多次提及此人，如William J.O’Neil，Peter Lynch，Roy R. Neuberger等。 ...  

看完觉得历史真是在重复中前进呀，68，69，70，明年就要到70了吧。干啥都说不走人家的老路子，可实际都在踩着前人的脚印。 买基金也有一段了，买之后才想着看点书，有点晚，本来基金就买的晚了，总是后知后觉啊。这几个月逐渐给自己约法三章： 1.止损止赢。最忌一个贪字啊。 2....  

“华尔街就是……主街”，约翰•S•戈登在《伟大的博弈》中这样描述华尔街在美国经济生活中发挥的重要作用，而使华尔街成为主街的时间是1938年至1968年。 如果你不满足于《伟大的博弈》对主街过于浮光掠影的描述，那么，不要紧，你可以在《沸腾的岁月》中将历史的...  

2005年末，美国《财富》杂志推荐了75本必读书。《纽约客》已故撰稿人约翰•布鲁克斯所著的《沸腾的岁月：华尔街60年代股市兴衰记》正是其中一本。 1973年，是美国历经1970年股市大崩盘之后的复苏期。在这一年，布鲁克斯反思1960——1970年华尔街所发生的一切之后，深入分析...
