Book Reviews of Money Masters of Our Time
Book Review: Good, gossipy book of vignettes
Summary: 4 Stars
The people who are looking to gain valuable insight as to the workings of the market from this book are sadly mistaken. This is a book, along the lines of James Grant's book, that gives a number of vignettes and minature biographies of the leading money makers of our times, such as T. Rowe Price, Buffet, Templeton, Rainwater, Cabot, Fisher, Graham, Lightbown, Neff, Robertson, Rogers, Soros, Carret, Steinhardt, Wanger, Wilson, Lynch. You will essentially find that there is no "one" style that is successful, which lends credence to the theory that the markets are quite efficient, and some of these guys are victims of luck as well as skill.
The fact that it was written in early 2000 is a plus, not a minus, as you can trace what happened to them after the crash.
GOod book, the author is a bit preachy, egotistical and gossips about his subjects, but that's OK.
