Meet some professional traders and advisors
This book presents short interviews with 21 professionals in the investment field, who share their investment philosophies. It is worthwhile to understand how these professionals make their living, as some of their ideas may give you insight for you own trading strategies. But, even if you do not come away with information pertinent to your own trading style, there is value in reading about the methods of others. The authors do a good job and the book is worth reading.

Not Bad but not very filling
Some good ideas from web site promoters but only a few good ideas. Buy it used.

The best book to start investing
The best thing I can say about this book is every subject comes by his or her investment ideas honestly, and shares them openly. Most give them away, and the ones who charge formed their ideas for themselves, and only later decided to sell them. I think half of their strategies are foolish, and I think most other readers will agree with that, but we probably wouldn't pick the same half. That's okay, because between the biographies, track records and interviews in this book; plus what you can find by going to these Internet sites, you can make up your own mind. It seems like every other investment book either wants to sell you a predigested strategy, or tells you there's nothing better than putting all your money in a low-cost index fund. Bulls, Bears and Brains is the only intelligent alternative I know of.
