Description
How do some of the world's most successful traders amass millions of dollars in a year... or sometimes in just hours? Are they masters of a priceless wizardry or simply the very lucky winners in a random market lottery that allows only a few players to become fantastically wealthy? What are the secrets of their unheard-of success?
Market expert Jack D. Schwager interviews top traders in a variety of markets and determines that an interesting mix of method and mental posture is largely responsible, and presents Market Wizards in a way that allows the listener a glimpse into the minds of these most remarkable traders. Understand what it takes to succeed, and hear it in the words of the Market Wizards themselves.
Hear about:
* Turning a $30,000 account in $80 million!
* Having a fund average a 30% annual return over 21 years!
* Parlaying $25,000 into $2 billion worth of T-bond future trading in a day!
* Managing funds that have registered triple-digit gains five years in a row!
* Realizing an astounding 250,000% return on accounts over 16 years!
