Description

Bestselling author Jack Schwager challenges the core assumptions of investment theory and exposes common investor mistakes, missteps, myths, and misreads. He argues that convenience often trumps reality and that many respected market theories and models fail to hold in the real world. The book highlights unfounded assumptions, erroneous theories, unrealistic models, cognitive biases, emotional foibles, and unsubstantiated beliefs that can mislead investors—professionals and novices alike. Drawing on his long career in the markets, Schwager assesses pervasive academic precepts, money-management canards, market myths, and investor errors, offering real-world insight for investment professionals and accessible guidance for readers interested in investment, trading, and finance. It covers both traditional and alternative investment classes, from basic to advanced topics.
