Is your investment in that new Internet stock a sign of stockmarket savvy or an act of peculiarly American speculative folly?How has the psychology of investing changed--and not changed--overthe last five hundred years? Edward Chancellor examines the natureof speculation--from medieval Europe to the Tulip mania of the1630s to today's Internet stock craze. A contributing writer to The Financial Times and The Economist , Chancellorlooks at both the psychological and economic forces that drivepeople to "bet" their money in markets; how markets are made,unmade, and manipulated; and who wins when speculation runsrampant.

Asthis latest edition appears eleven years beyond the first, I'mconvinced that the same principles that helped me perform well atthe Fidelity Magellan Fund still apply to investing in stockstoday. It's been a remarkable stretch since One Up on Wall Street hit thebookstores in 1989. I left Magellan in May, 1990, and pundits saidit was a brilliant move. They congratulated me for getting out atthe right time -- just before the collapse of the great bullmarket. For the moment, the pessimists looked smart. The country'smajor banks flirted with insolvency, and a few went belly up. Byearly fall, war was brewing in Iraq. Stocks suffered one of theirworst declines in recent memory. But then the war was won, thebanking system survived, and stocks rebounded. Some rebound! The Dow is up more than fourfold since October, 1990,from the 2,400 lev

Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert T. Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective from two very different influences—his two fathers. One father (Robert's real father) was a highly educated man but fiscally poor. The other father was the father of Robert's best friend—that Dad was an eighth-grade dropout who became a self-made multimillionaire.
