Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Trader Vic II
Victor Sperandeo · 1998
73/100
👍 Worth It
Trader Vic II is the rare trading book that goes deep on macroeconomics rather than just chart patterns, and Sperandeo's practitioner perspective gives it credibility that academic treatments lack. The macro content has dated more than the first volume, but for experienced traders who want to understand how money supply and political cycles interact with market behavior, it still delivers. Not for beginners — you need the foundation before this one pays off.
