by far my top 10 favorite investing books.
what did i learn?

if you made quick easy money, it could be that you just got lucky.
why do i like it?
its a philosophical look at investing that easy to follow and understand.

A serious bit of fermented sour grapes by someone who is jealous of anyone who made money during the 1990’s.
The whole book is based on the idea that if you place enough monkeys in front of enough typewriters for long enough, eventually one will produce the Iliad. Therefore, no performance, or even a series of performances, can be the results of anything but chance. There is no value in studying the past of anything, everything is random and nothing about the past can provide any insight into the future.
