Wall Street Ventures & Adventures Thru 40 Years

Good read. Book is a biography of Richard Wyckoff's work history. It is full of concepts that all master traders acquire reguardless of the time period. He gives examples of how to identify what "composite operators" are doing so one can trade in harmony with them. Book adds completeness if you have read "Studies in Tape Reading" and "How I Trade and Invest in Stocks and Bonds"

Great History of Wall Street in the Early 1900s!!

All of Richard Wycoffs books are enjoyable and practical to investors and traders, and this is no exception. This tome takes you through Mr. Wycoff's career on Wall Street. What I find amazing is how little things have changed. Sure the laws are a little different now, but the games are still the same. Just replace Jay Gould with Ken Lay, stock pools with hedge funds, rail stocks with internet stocks and it could have been the late 90s when the story takes place. Other than the story, there are bits and pieces of investment and trading advice throughout the book. I would also recommend his Stock Market Technique 1 and 2 books if you enjoy books on Stock Market history.
