Description of 100 Minds that Made the Market
Don't read this book. Just focus on the parts of interest to you. It is built top be used as needed - a few pages at a time. You may never need it at all, and yet still find it most worthwhile.
Who was Lucky Baldwin and what was his key role in the evolution of American financial markets? Or Natalie Laimbeer? In this book Ken Fisher delivers cameo biographies of his favourite 100 pioneers of American financial history. Whether little known names, or famous figures like Jo Kennedy (who many folks forget was the first head of the Securities and Exchange Commission), Fisher digs through the detail. He describes their business careers, their personal lives, their contributions to our money markets - plus the key financial lessons to be learned from their lives.
From Joe Kennedy's 'sexcapades' to Jesse Livermore's suicide, this book scopes the drama, the dirt and the financial doctrine of 100 amazingly inventive pioneers of finance - folks who are best called characters - each a unique phenomenon. Using the capacity to link detail and overview that Fisher has shown in his previous books and Forbes columns, he literally leads you on a tour de force through the lessons of these financiers' lives, painting the big picture while zeroing in on tantalizing tidbits.
Look up those that interest you, by name or subject, and learn in minutes what they gave to finance and what you should know about it. Now, or in 20 years, this book is a valuable part of any investor's library - an ongoing tool to be re-used repeatedly.
