The Money Game

Whilst it might not be a typical investment book, which tend to be 'here's how investing works and how you will make money', which typically disappoint. This book focuses more on the philosophy side of money and investing, with plenty of information you likely won't read anywhere else. It's well written, not difficult to understand, though the references and some words might not be common language these days, a quick Google every now and again helped. It's one of those books where, if you're serious about investing, you really ought to read it. I learnt about this book from Howard Marks referencing it in one of his memos, and I'll likely make an effort to read it every few years.

It's funny. It's dated. It's relevant. It's about you. It's about "They". It's full of stories and anecdotes and the low down on brokers, portfolio managers, analysts, accountants and quants (yes even in the 60s). The only bug bear was the small type.

This book is about Wall Street, with stories about various people in the market. It has lots of humour in it. Lots of wisdom too. Well worth a read if you are interested in the stock market and Wall Street. I found this book thanks to: "The 10 Best Books Ever Written on Investment, by Richard Lambert, former editor of the Financial Times".

I did not find this book to be particularly enjoyable. It is marketed as a classic but many other finance/markets books would easily be more preferable.

You'll learn how to be realistic in the investment world.

Good book, good price, good delivery

A good read...copy good quality...should be read widely for stock market understanding today.

A bit out of date, but enough long-term lessons for us all.

This book reminds of Business Adventures by John Brooks. In some ways, the stories in this book are slightly different or offer a savant viewpoint on the irrationality of financial markets. It is very well written and engaging. Thankfully, Amazon had this book in stock and well priced ...

Praticamente sconosciuto in Italia ma fenomenale. Un concetto per cui vale la pena di leggerlo: " No, non si fanno i soldi sui mercati finanziari,i soldi si fanno quando un mercato riconosce la tua idea come valida, non c'e' modo di arricchirsi veramente senza creare valore." Dice la verita' sui mercati finanziari, da comprare cartaceo. L'impaginazione fa schifo

Claro y consiso un clásico

Very poor quality, print too small and dense. Very expensive. The book does not do justice to the content or the author.

This is so good! Soo sooo good! Especially the section on different types of investors! Wit exemplified!
