Summary

"The market never ceases to befuddle and beguile. These two venerable works are fixtures on the short lists for most valuable books on the securities markets, and investors continue to cherishthem." (From the introduction by Martin S. Fridson managing director, Merrill Lynch & Co. author of Investment Illusions)

Exploring the sometimes hilarious, sometimes devastating impact of crowd behavior and trading trickery on the financial markets, this book brilliantly combines two all-time investment classics. Extraordinary Popular Delusions and Confusión de Confusiones take us from Tulipmania in 1634-when tulips actually traded at a higher price than gold - to the South Sea "bubble" of 1720, and beyond. Securities analyst and author Martin Fridson guides you on a quirky, entertaining, and intriguing journey back through time.

Very interesting

A fascinating book that combines stories of astounding human behaviour, with insight into some interesting pieces of history.
The explanations and commentary around it were very useful for me.
