Where are the Customers' Yachts? by Fred Schwed
First published in 1940, this investment guide continues to be read by traders. Its lessons and observations still ring true today. Wry and astute, the author chronicles everyday trading on Wall Street in the years leading up to the 1929 Wall Street Crash.
"wonderful book" (Evening Standard, 24 August 2001)
Fred Schwed, Jr., was a professional trader who had the good sense to get out after losing a bundle (of mostly his own money) in the 1929 crash. Some years later, he published a children's book titled Wacky, the Small Boy. Wacky became a bestseller, and Schwed went on to draw further on his experience in writing Where Are the Customers' Yachts? His publisher said of him, "Mr. Schwed has attended Lawrenceville and Princeton and has spent the last ten years on Wall Street. As a result, he knows everything there is to know about children."
