Acclaimed trading expert Jack Schwager went to thirteen phenomenally successful traders for answers, including Mark Minervini, a junior high school dropout, who has averaged a 220 percent annual return during the past five years, while keeping his maximum quarterly loss to a fraction of one percent; Mark Cook, a Midwestern farmer who registered back-to-back annual gains of 563 and 322 percent in national trading contests; and Steve Lescarbeau, whose computerized trading model earns him an average of 70 percent per year with an incredibly low drawdown of only 3 percent.

In lively interviews with his all-star lineup, Schwager brings you true stories, eye-opening tips, and the inside scoop on how to ride the bull, battle the bear, and still come out on top. And in a final wrap-up Schwager lays out 64 market lessons that provide invaluable insights for average investors and market professionals alike.
