Published in 1989, the interviews in this book were conducted while the stock market crash of October 1987 was fresh in people’s minds. Some of those interviewed made money on the crash, some lost money, and many have something to say about it.

Interview subjects include Michael Marcus, who multiplied his company account 2500-fold in a decade, and his protégé Bruce Kovner, perhaps the world’s largest currency and futures trader at the time.  The interview also features interviews with 4 traders of stocks futures, including William O’Neil, his protégé David Ryan, and the man who won big several times in the U.S. Trading Championships, S&P futures trader Marty Schwartz.

He also interviewed Dr. Van K. Tharp, a research psychologist who studied “the psychology of winning” so as to come up with a “model” of winning traits which can then be taught to other people.
