看一只花蛤的《在苍茫中传灯》里提起,以前一直听说但是无暇看的一本书。 写评论之前看了一眼飘香的书评,很巧,观点一致。 客户的游艇被经纪人给吃了,华尔街那帮人,就是靠着撺掇着客户不断交易而富甲一方的。这些观点看起来很有道理,但是原因挖的还不够深入。 没有经纪人的...
评分 评分#我以为能“存活”五十年以上的书都起码有点信息量,直到这本,我发现我错了。五十多年前的梗太难get了,翻译的又不接地气,也没有注释之类的来解释。 信息密度小,又没有趣,这就是这本一百多页的小书给我的感受。 以下为书摘: 1、股票经纪人通过他对未来的预测来影响顾客,...

"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.
"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 (2006 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Report)

评分The kid who was addressed obediently leaned forward to write, but as he did so he puckered his lips a little. Very low — but audibly — he gave that distinctive, rubbery sound of contempt which is vulgarly known as "the bird." Immediately everyone felt less confident. 有谁看懂了?什么意思?
