Where are the Customers' Yachts?

Fred Schwed, Jr., was a professional trader who had the good sense to get out after losing a bundle (of mostly his own money) in the 1929 crash. Some years later, Schwed published a children's book titled Wacky, the Small Boy. Wacky became a bestseller, and Schwed went on to draw further on his experience in writing Where Are the Customers' Yachts? His publisher said of him, "Mr. Schwed has attended Lawrenceville and Princeton and has spent the last ten years on Wall Street. As a result, he knows everything there is to know about children."

"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 This hilarious portrait of everyday Wall Street and its denizens rings as true today as it did when it was first published in 1940. Writing with a rare mixture of wry cynicism and bonhomie reminiscent of Mark Twain and H. L. Mencken, Fred Schwed, Jr., skewers everyone including himself in his brilliant send-ups of bankers, brokers, traders, investors, analysts, and hapless customers. "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 President, Bloomberg, LP "...one of the funniest books ever written about Wall Street."-Jane Bryant Quinn, The Washington Post "It's amazing how well Schwed's book is holding up after 55 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 "A delightful classic and reminder of excesses past and how little things change." -Bob Farrell, Senior Vice President, Merrill Lynch

读后感

小弗雷德·施韦德（Fred Schwed，Jr）20世纪20年代初期，已经读到大学四年级的小弗雷德因为晚上6点在宿舍里容留女生而被普林斯顿大学劝退，之后他就在华尔街谋生。作为一名职业交易员，他在1929年的崩盘中破了产。 读书之前先看到作者的生平，想着在1929年崩盘中破产的人将是如...  

这书的确是一本有趣的书,但是这个版本的错别字, "全部"变成"金部" "金融"变成"全融" "从未出现"变成了"从来出现" "几乎"变成"几手" My God,这本是盗版书还说请了小学一年级的学生做了校对工作  

#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，...  

作者在书中提到的多个岗位上的人，都喜欢对于未来进行预测，对于大局进行把控，而因此带来了很多的笑话。 华尔街这么多的人，为何都这样做呢？因为他们被广大投资者认定是权威，他们既要满足自己的工作角色，又要符合大众对于该工作角色的定义，难道他们在回答投资人询问市场走...  

名气很大，但核心思想不多。指导性不够，也有可能是因为投资类书籍阅读多而导致。巴菲特的有些话、思想有可能源自该书？如投硬币比赛，如别人恐惧我贪婪，别人贪婪我恐惧。 投机是一种想要把小钱变成大钱的努力，但可能不会成功。 投资是一种想要避免大钱变成小钱的努力，应该...
