Jack SchwagerJack Schwager wrote Market Wizards to capture the characteristics of great traders through their stories.Starting with Michael Marcus and then Ed Seykota, he went on a cookie crumb trail around the USA and created the legendary Market Wizards series.

There is NO ONE WAY TO MAKE MONEY IN THE MARKETS and you have to find an approach that fits your belief system. Many Market Wizards view each other’s trading approach with complete cynicism and they often have conflicting opinions 180 degrees apart.‘There are a billion ways to make money in the markets. Unfortunately they are all difficult to find.’ - Jack Schwager2. You need complete FLEXIBILITY and LACK OF LOYALTY to a share.
