Kindle edition is quite poor
The book is otherwise fabulous, but you should steer clear of the Kindle version. The Kindle handles charts poorly, and this book has a lot of them. Some are manageable, but many others contain small text that is so blurry that it might as well be written in Arabic. Quite honestly, it is not entirely clear to me how Amazon gets away with selling this item. The Kindle is great, but Amazon absolutely should not sell books that cannot actually be read on it.

Best book to learn how markets work and act.
This is great to have in your library to know the intimate working of the various markets and how they came to be. You can't invest in something wisely without knowing how it works!

Should Have Listened
Fantastic Book - full of common sense and ultmate truths. Read it in October 2007 when it was screaming at me "the market is in a bubble, get out!!" - unfortunately I listened but didnt act. Great book

A convincingly definitive treatise on a hotly debated topic.
This book lives up to its classic billing by delivering a rich array of data to support the authors arguments in an engrossing and entertaining style. The importance of really understanding the relevance of randomness to market action cannot be overemphasized. I truly appreciate the clarity and simplicity that this book has brought to my investing efforts.
