I am talking about "Stock Market Wizards" book here originally published in 2001. This is the last book of the "Market Wizards" series. The two previous books were:
* Market Wizards: Interviews with Top Traders (1992)
* The New Market Wizards: Conversations with America's Top Traders (1994)
In the previous books, you could read dialogues with Paul Tudor Jones, Jim Rogers, William O'Neil, Bruce Kovner, Richard Dennis, Ed Seykota, Stanley Druckenmiller. I mean people who are famous and still well respected twenty years after the books.
In "Stock Market Wizards", not such thing. Sure, you get some people who are still famous but not all are well respected! Some of these traders were fraudsters, some had blown up their accounts, and some other are really suspects.
You can still get some good information about discipline for instance from Mark Minervini's interview. But you will get the same pieces of information if you read any recent interview from the internet.
For the rest, you need to some experience in order to split the wheat from the chaff. If you know your subject, you can read this book for recreational purpose. If you're a newbie, forget it: you may learn wrong stuff and it is very hard to un-learn!
