Traders Interviews
Schwager kicks off the series of interviews-and hence the investigation into their thought process- by talking to a man he describes as one of the pioneers of commodity trading- Michael Marcus of Canmarc Trading Co. Michael Marcus is a commodities trader who in under 20 years is reputed to have turned his initial $30000 into $80 million His discussion with Marcus is typical of the book as a whole. The reader effectively eavesdrops on a conversation between the two men that starts with how Marcus got into the business and continues through subjects such as the skill necessary to become a good trader.
Follow-up books
After the success of Market Wizards, Schwager in 1992 released a second book, The New Market Wizards, and then in 2001 a third book, Stock Market Wizards
