ABOUT TRADING SARDINES
Advance Praise
« I have been an active investor for over 45 years; successfully for about 20 years. I have often read about the giants in the trading industry and am amazed at the ones who lasted more than just a few years. Linda Bradford Raschke is in that small group of long-time successful traders. Along with names like Paul Tudor Jones, Richard Dennis, Peter Brandt, she has earned her place in this elite list. This is a book you cannot put down until you are finished; she shares many trading stories and her writing style will keep you laughing and entertained. This is a must read for anyone who trades or invests.
“Salty, earthy, filled with words of wisdom. Trading Sardines is a wonderful biographical sketch of a female pioneer in the male-dominated trading pits. Sardines traces Linda’s outstanding and successful journey as an equities and futures trader from LA to San Francisco to New Jersey to Florida to Chicago. This book shares more one-liners of wisdom – and in a hilarious fashion – than any trading book I have read. After reading Sardines readers will fully understand why Raschke was featured in the Market Wizards series. I highly recommend this wonderful human interest story of a trader I have long admired and considered a friend. » also style every aspect of this content in the module Design settings and even apply custom CSS to this text in the module Advanced settings.
« I’m buying copies of this book for my friends…it is choc full of wit, wisdom and practical trading advice. In recent years trading books have become so damn boring and redundant; not this one! Linda’s frank and to the point writing style is refreshing, her stories some of the best on Wall Street. You want to know how this business really works? She answers it with a slap in the face to “wall street crowd”. Seldom do we get books that are so pithy, ladled with humor and great market advice.”
