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

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...

人在股市里亏钱的时候往往会有各种不爽，需要寻找发泄的途径，于是有了这本书以及这类书。 股市里赚钱的人总是少数，亏钱的是大多数，我想这是这本书以及这类书畅销的根本原因。 适合金融界相声爱好者和犬儒主义者。  

这是我目前读过的几本理财书籍中感觉到最难读的一本。 听了好几遍音频，吸收的内容比较破碎，不晓得主要内容是什么。 真正阅读时，感到有些枯燥，读得很慢。 接着采取边听音频边阅读方式，还是没有效果。 后来看了主要内容和一些书评后，对本书有了大体的了解。要求自己静下心...
