The Money Game,
by
"Adam Smith."
To a degree, the high tech stock market
bubble of the late 1990s
"first" happened 30 years earlier--in the
1960s. That's right--it was deja vu all over again, complete
with the mindless talk of a
"new era" economy, public fascination with
technology stocks, and the extremely competitive and aggressive
management of many mutual funds. Although those who fail to study the
lessons of the past sometimes seem doomed to repeat past mistakes, those
who do learn from history can profit handsomely. Indeed, I'd be willing
to wager that investors who had read this riveting 1967 summary of the
go-go 1960s stock market probably avoided the worst investing mistakes
of the late 1990s. This book became a best seller not only because it
offers readers fascinating insight into the practical details of a
market mania, but also because it is immensely readable and
entertaining. It ought to be required reading in every MBA program and,
indeed, every serious investor ought to spend some time learning from
this lively account of investing in the 1960s. |
