具体描述

Edward O. Thorp is the author of the bestseller Beat the Dealer, which transformed the game of blackjack. His subsequent book, Beat the Market, co-authored with Sheen T. Kassouf, influenced securities markets around the globe. Thorp is one of the world’s best blackjack players and investors, and his hedge funds were profitable every year for twenty-nine years. He lives in Newport Beach, California.

The incredible true story of the card-counting mathematics professor who taught the world how to beat the dealer and, as the first of the great quantitative investors, ushered in a revolution on Wall Street.

A child of the Great Depression, legendary mathematician Edward O. Thorp invented card counting, proving the seemingly impossible: that you could beat the dealer at the blackjack table. As a result he launched a gambling renaissance. His remarkable success—and mathematically unassailable method—caused such an uproar that casinos altered the rules of the game to thwart him and the legions he inspired. They barred him from their premises, even put his life in jeopardy. Nonetheless, gambling was forever changed.

Thereafter, Thorp shifted his sights to “the biggest casino in the world”: Wall Street. Devising and then deploying mathematical formulas to beat the market, Thorp ushered in the era of quantitative finance we live in today. Along the way, the so-called godfather of the quants played bridge with Warren Buffett, crossed swords with a young Rudy Giuliani, detected the Bernie Madoff scheme, and, to beat the game of roulette, invented, with Claude Shannon, the world’s first wearable computer.

Here, for the first time, Thorp tells the story of what he did, how he did it, his passions and motivations, and the curiosity that has always driven him to disregard conventional wisdom and devise game-changing solutions to seemingly insoluble problems. An intellectual thrill ride, replete with practical wisdom that can guide us all in uncertain financial waters, A Man for All Markets is an instant classic—a book that challenges its readers to think logically about a seemingly irrational world.

##在天才眼里,一切都是如此简单。人以群分,一生偶遇那么多牛人。他因斯皮策的调查而关闭对冲基金,只能说是因为他出身贫寒,不是既有体制内的人。

##半本好书,前面挺有意思,讲他如何少年时的读书生涯,如何在几个专业间流转,如何解出21点,如何成为最早的quant并建立自己的hedge fund。可惜后面部分行文太过随意,没什么有深度的东西了。

##所需背景知识点较多,断断续续到现在才看完。从拉斯维加斯赌场到华尔街,从“ 21点计牌策略、凯利公式、可转债对冲”到“布莱克-舒尔兹公式(其实是索普第一个发现,可以拿诺贝尔奖)、统计套利”等,横跨资产管理、日常生活、学习。写得坦诚,让人受益匪浅,索普把他的高智商...

##书翻完了,为数不多的在pc版kindle上看完了一本书,满满的感觉都是“勤奋”。 传记性的文章,收获最大的几个关键字: 1、即使再谦虚,天分也很重要。 2、投资就是寻找大概率事件。 3、风险控制比赚钱还重要。 4、验证策略,执行策略,调整策略. 5、复利模式是最好的财富增长之...

##① 真奇怪,我自己是价值信徒,坚持从商业模式和基本面去理解公司,但是我至今看完的两本投资大师的传记,却偏偏是利弗莫尔和索普的。投机分子身上总有点吸引人的东西。相较而言,巴菲特和芒格被他们自己修饰地太好看了。 ② 当然,巴菲特虽然也聪明绝顶,但之于我等庸众,已经...
