Title: An eye-opener
Product review: I found this book to be quite an illuminating expose of sorts in the financial markets and of its (often varied and colorful!) participants. To a lesser extent, this is also an indictment of the role of luck and how it plays into our everyday lives. The book really doesn't go into specific theories (apart from discussing 'option blindness') on how to 'exploit' randomness in the financial markets for one's financial benefit, though. It could be perhaps that the book didn't intend to do so, other than to highlight the hidden dangers of risk and randomness in the financial markets.I agree with some reviewers here that the tone of the book could have been written in a better way. And that the genesis of his ideas be compartmentalized in a more succinct manner. Hence, a 4-star rating.
