 Not Impressive, not fits the today's market trends
Market and economies of countries are changing... This book is written long back...no more effective as per current trends. Author has told the things that a layman knows how to trade now a days.
I will say better interested people should go for new authors that provide a better views as per current money trends.
Very dissapointing book for me.
 An All Time Great Book for All Readers
As a teenager I read this book when it first hit the shelves. It started my early education in managing money and great nonfiction writing. The Money Game is a series of vignettes and stories about people trying to achieve fortune and fame and peace of mind on Wall Street. It is not a textbook, although you will learn the fundamental principles of fear and greed and the basics of investment strategies as told through a specific story or person.
While The Money Game is a book about money, it is an excellent example of first rate nonfiction writing. In my own writing throughout a long publishing life in academic publication, I have returned to The Money Game for examples of well structured chapters and nicely turned sentences. 'Adam Smith' (the pseudonym for George Goodman) is one of the best writers I've encountered. His style is made more apparent through reading the following companion book to The Money Game, Super Money. If you read both books back to back, the structure and style jumps out almost like a teacher writing an equation on the board.
Must-read for finance ph.d.
It's an actually must-read for all investors. This is an extreme excellent book and can be treated as one of the first pioneer books about behavior finance. All the ideas in the book are what behavior finance scholars try to model. If things work, we don't need to construct a fancy model to prove them. We can just describe them as the author of the book did. I can safely conclude there are more than 10 NEW papers which could be done based on the book alone.
I love this book
"If I really had a system for making money in the market and it worked all the time, first of all, I wouldn't tell anybody and second of all, I would soon have just about all the money there is." Adam Smith p. 122
Thank you for being so honest. Amazingly this book has helped me more than all the other "How to make millions in the stock market" books I have read. It is well-written and filled with information, humor, advice and wisdom. It touches on everything from the fabled Mister Johnson (I have a strong suspicion that Peter Lynch got his inspiration for One Up On Wall Street from this book) to charting and random walk theory. The reader is encouraged to find his own trading style and use the wealth of information from the book. Highly recommended.
a great (little) book
I found it a great book.
it's not "technical", but showed me many new things and approaches to the market.
it's not a novel, but I assure I laughed out loud in the middle of the night!
it's not about "psychology", but the last chapter made me understand much more about my inner thoughts on me-as-a-trader than a whole book...
I would recommend for the ones who, having red about ten books on "how to trade, and be a millionare....", would like to taste something different.
but only if they like, also, reading good books.
