👍 Worth It
This one's a genuine classic in trading circles - a ballroom dancer's real memoir of teaching himself the market with disciplined stop-losses, and it's still cited by serious traders decades later. Just know his 1950s toolkit won't map cleanly onto today's electronic markets, so treat it as inspiration and history more than a modern playbook. There are several competing audiobook editions floating around with different narrators, so it's worth checking which one you're actually buying.
