If you have an intellectual interest in how a long-term bull market develops euphoria and how that is expressed, then this book is a great resource.
Great book with great lessons that tells the story of those hype years
Exhaustively reported, but the entire story here is a bit muddled -- even with some interesting early glimpses at the likes of Ross Perot and company.
This book was written in early 70ies and while having better parts, feels inadequate in our days.In financial history books I personally expect to read stories that are backed with plenty of facts, revealing exact cause/effect relationships (as being written in hindsight) and be entertaining, at least to some degree.This book is mostly boring to read: little of financial/market background is presented, chapters are full of political side-stories and overall the purpose of the book seems to be mo...
The Go-Go Years is a must read/listen for my financial friends. The historical aspects are in play today as they were then. On Warren Buffett's recommended reading list given out at this year's Berkshire Annual meeting I found it riveting, detailed, and useful. I highly recommend it!
What comes around, goes around
A collection of business stories from the 1960s. Some good insights into the mood and behaviour of some key characters in the period.
because I Hardly find a book written about the Go-GO year of the 60s. This book, although, not well-structured or deeply informative but have a vivid view of the era that reflects today's market.
Skip it. This was written in 1973 and hasn't been substantially updated. The selected anecdotes may have been especially relevant at that time, but I don't think it has broad appeal/relevance today.For a book about financial history, there are so many better choices. Three classics that come to mind are:* Where Are the Customers Yachts* Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds* Reminiscences of a Stock OperatorFor some more recent, but well written examples of financial history,...
A fabulous, almost novelistic treatment of the end of the 1960's go-go market -- a fascinating slice of history for those interested in the 1960's.

BELIEVED THEY COULD UNDERSTAND THE NEWER COMPANIES BETTER.Gerald Tsia Jr of Fidelity was one of the first fund managers of the go-go era. When he bought something everyone followed.Tsai left Fidelity to set up Manhattan Fund in 1965. He took in $247m at 0.5% management fee with asset rising to $500m before he sold it for $30m.From 1966-69 conglomerates flourished. They bought companies on low multiples with their highly...
Quay trở về quá khứ - thập niên 90 của thế kỷ trước."1988 - trong năm hoàng kim vừa qua thị trường đã liên tục tăng giá. Mặc dù lãi suất tăng suốt năm 1987, giá cổ phiếu đã bỏ qua yếu tố quan trọng này. Tháng 8/1988, giá cổ phiếu đã tăng lên một tỷ lệ khó có thể được giữ vững - 22 lần lợi tức thu được."Cổ phiếu Nhật Bản - lúc này cao gấp 60 lần lợi tức - được sử dụng như lá chắn. Không cần biết giá cả trong nước vô lý đến thế nào, chỉ cần giá cổ phiếu Nhật Bản còn vô lý hơn thế thì cổ phiếu tại
"The go-go years" is very similar to "Once in Golconda" it is focused on the Wall Street itself. Not on what has really happened with the markets or investors or nation as a whole. Again John Brooks dives in the Wall Street darvinian evolution including deregulation, regulation, Wall Street - SEC relationship, politics, etc. The standard pattern of reduction of margin requirements, wild speculation getting out of hand, bailouts and new regulation, repeats again.I gave 2 stars "Once in Golconda"
