Book Review: The Poker Face of Wall Street
Martin Fridson reviews The Poker Face of Wall Street by Aaron Brown in the January/February 2007 issue of the Financial Analysts Journal, saying “Brown’s arguments, although provocative and well supported, seem to express a yearning for respectability.”
Fridson believes the book should focus less on trying to equate gambling and investing and more time “deriving pleasure from his supposed vice.” While many will disagree with the conclusions, Fridson believes the author provides a service by challenging investors to consider familiar issues from new angles.
