By the way, if no one has read this, it is awesome...a great reality check. I think you can get it free in some places, but I suggest buying it to support the authors:

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator
http://www.amazon.com/Reminiscences-Stock-Operator-Investment-Classics/dp/0471770884/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327114156&sr=8-1

The copyright is expired and the author is deceased. Project Gutenberg has it:

Nice find, I'm going to take a look at that while a wait for a hard copy to sit down to read with. As much as a digital being as I am when it comes to books, I find nothing can replace sitting down and relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine. It is kind of like vinyl records, I have hundreds of them because for some reason they just feel different and have a certain aura that just cannot be replicated.

Oh and I dig that quote Goomboo. I certainly understand where you are coming from about the book being more philosophical and thought oriented. Coming from a political world I understand just how important of a role conceptual concepts have in grasping the bigger picture. After all how are you going to be a successful in the world of politics if you don't have an understanding of the thoughts and actions of not only the politician but also the motives and physiological factors that affect the electorate? Not only that but sometimes just reading through and understanding someone else's thought process can give you a completely new perspective on things, giving you insight into opportunities that were previously invisible to you.

...Anyways little off topic but I think I am going to enjoy this book.

Agreed man...it's the truisms / wisdom of a field that puts all the other parts into perspective.

I hope you enjoy the book!
