商品描述

"Once I picked it up I did not put it down until I finished. . . . What Schwed has done is capture fully-in deceptively clean language-the lunacy at the heart of the investment business."
-- From the Foreword by Michael Lewis, Bestselling author of Liar's Poker

". . . one of the funniest books ever written about Wall Street."
-- Jane Bryant Quinn, The Washington Post

"How great to have a reissue of a hilarious classic that proves the more things change the more they stay the same. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent."
-- Michael Bloomberg

"It's amazing how well Schwed's book is holding up after fifty-five years. About the only thing that's changed on Wall Street is that computers have replaced pencils and graph paper. Otherwise, the basics are the same. The investor's need to believe somebody is matched by the financial advisor's need to make a nice living. If one of them has to be disappointed, it's bound to be the former."
-- John Rothchild, Author, A Fool and His Money, Financial Columnist, Time magazine

Humorous and entertaining, this book exposes the folly and hypocrisy of Wall Street. The title refers to a story about a visitor to New York who admired the yachts of the bankers and brokers. Naively, he asked where all the customers' yachts were? Of course, none of the customers could afford yachts, even though they dutifully followed the advice of their bankers and brokers. Full of wise contrarian advice and offering a true look at the world of investing, in which brokers get rich while their customers go broke, this book continues to open the eyes of investors to the reality of Wall Street.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

「一旦我拿起這本書,就再也放不下,直到我讀完……Schwed 所做的就是用看似簡潔的語言,充分捕捉到投資業務核心的瘋狂。」
-- 來自《Liar's Poker》暢銷書作者 Michael Lewis 的前言

「……這是有史以來關於華爾街最有趣的書籍之一。」
-- Jane Bryant Quinn,《華盛頓郵報》

「能夠重新發行這本幽默經典真是太好了,這本書證明了隨著事物的變化,許多事情依然如故。只有名字被改變以保護無辜者。」
-- Michael Bloomberg

「Schwed 的書在五十五年後依然如此出色,真是令人驚訝。華爾街唯一改變的就是電腦取代了鉛筆和圖表紙。否則,基本面依然相同。投資者需要相信某些人,而金融顧問則需要賺取可觀的收入。如果其中一方必須失望,那必然是前者。」
-- John Rothchild,《A Fool and His Money》作者,財經專欄作家,《時代》雜誌

這本書幽默且娛樂性十足,揭露了華爾街的愚蠢與虛偽。書名提到一個故事,講述一位來訪紐約的遊客,他欣賞銀行家和經紀人的遊艇。天真地,他問所有顧客的遊艇在哪裡?當然,沒有顧客能夠負擔遊艇,即使他們忠實地遵循銀行家和經紀人的建議。這本書充滿了明智的反向建議,真實地展現了投資的世界,在這個世界裡,經紀人致富而顧客卻破產,這本書持續讓投資者看清華爾街的現實。
