Welcome to the world of Martin "Buzzy" Schwartz, Champion Trader--the
man whose nerves of steel and killer instinct in the canyons of Wall
Street earned him the well-deserved name "Pit Bull." This is the true
story of how Schwartz became the best of the best, of the people and
places he discovered along the way and of the trader's tricks and
techniques he used to make his millions.
Writing with great verve and style, Schwartz makes us a part of the
action as we follow his career from his first gut-wrenching day trading
options on the American Stock Exchange to his enormous successes trading
futures, his pursuit of secretive foreign money for his hedge fund, the
night he spent trading bonds during the Golf War (in that first
tumultuous night, he made $1.2 million by dawn), and the often painful
yet valuable personal lessons he learned the hard way.
It's a high-pressure, high-stakes world rarely seen by outsiders and
rarely written about by its inhabitants. Here, fortunes are made and
lost in moments, and nobody brings it to life better than Marty
Schwartz, the man "Barron's" calls "the best there is." His stories are
irresistable, and his candid accounts of his smart moves and blunders
alike are priceless.
Appended to each chapter are fascinating "lessons" Schwartz has learned
about the financial markets--where you'll learn about the attitude,
style and strategies that make Schwartz a winner. For the real nuts and
bolts, turn to the end of the book and plunge into "The Pit Bull's Guide
to Successful Trading, " a manual covering Schwartz' favorite trading
methods, market analysis tools and indicators.
Whether you want to play the markets yourself, are curious about how
thebuccaneer traders of Wall Street make (and lose) their money or
simply want to be entertained by a rollicking good story, "Pit Bull" is
a book you won't want to miss.
