Re: The Education of a Speculator by Victor Niederhoffer

"You will either love this book or hate it"

that pretty much sums it up but i would first recommend Practical Speculation over this book. I think if you get anything from that book the probability you will like this book increases exponentially.
If you have any bent towards value investing the thing to watch is this book on amazon used, i got a hard copy from a library for 99 cents .

I love Niederhoffer and dailyspeculations so i cant rate this book without bias, hes my original hero.

soultrader do you have any knowledge of how Vic actually trades? I assume he stat arbs options? that i soppose is the best thing about Vic's books, nothing could be farther from "how to make money" as he basically tells you nothing in that area.
