About This Book

Jack Schwager sat down with the most consistently successful traders of the 1980s and asked them the hardest question he could find: what actually separates you from everyone else? The answers he received from Bruce Kovner, Paul Tudor Jones, Ed Seykota, and others formed a study in psychological and methodological contrasts that ultimately converged on unexpected commonalities. Market Wizards is the original work of trading interview literature, defining a format that dozens of subsequent books have imitated without quite matching.

DJ Holte narrates with the measured seriousness the material deserves — these are interviews about how people approach uncertainty and loss over careers that span decades, and the weight of that question comes through in a voice that takes the subject seriously. At just under 15 hours, this is a comprehensive listen for anyone interested in how elite performers in a probabilistic field actually think about their work.
