I lost myself after reading this book. It is definately useless book to me. I regret I bought it which was purely based on the 5 stars review. I don't even know if the writer really understand the market. I think the author wrote this one purely because he wants to creat a book. I doubt if the author knows what he wrote. This book will waste our money and time.

This updated version of Charles W. Smith's book is one of the best, if not the best book on Wall Street I have ever read. I say this an investment professional with 25 years of experience, who has "Survived" and sometimes "Succeeded" on Wall Street.

After reading this book, I understood my own world better, as well as what drives "The mind of the market."

You can not go wrong with this book. This is a tip you should not ignore.

Business Week, January 31, 2000, p. 20, in reviewing a score of new stock market says "My absoute favorite new investment book should be read by anyone eager to make a million in the market,and its author is no one you've heard of. Success and Survival on Wall Street: Understanding the Mind of the Market by Queens College sociologist Charles W. Smith... How..? By taking in Smith's insight....'You don't have to be a genius to survive on Wall Street, you just have to avoid being a fool.' This is a serious book clearly worth reading

This is a must read for anyone who invests in the market. Forget all the other self-help books written by so-called experts. The experts will not help you in any way. But this book will help you understand what is really going on on Wall Street. This book is concise, informative, and quite brilliant.
