The "Phantom of the Pits" is a legend in the markets, but he also remains an enigma. Back in the mid 1990s he recorded a series of interviews which have since been published. This 'book' has now gone down in trading folklore as one of the most though provoking and significant ever.

And 'thought provoking' it certainly is, which means if you want to get something out of it you're going to have to work at it. For example, it's one of those books that every time you read it another idea or concept becomes apparent. For this reason we suggest you re-read it at least 3-5 times over a few months.

If you're interested in trading and investment then add this book to your library, you won't regret it.

Tip

It's a good idea to copy/paste the whole book to a Word document. Make it a small font like Verdana 8 and widen all the margins so you can fit more text to the page. You can then print it out and bind it (shops like Office World offer cheap binding services)
