具体描述
The 1960s was one of Wall Street's most speculative eras. These were the years of growth and performance - of gunslingers, the youth revolution, mutual funds, new-issue stocks, creative accounting, Chinese money, and the conglomerates. In this tumultuous environment, the multitudes of small investors thrived and multiplied only later to diminish in the devastating market crashes of the 1970s. In his book, Brooks chronicles this era while educating readers about the take-off growth sprees of Wall Street's 1960s and the crashes of the 1970s, reminding today's investors that Wall Street has always been a source of hope, havoc, and hyperbole.

读后感
悲剧？似乎有，但情调上却很明快，所以不带悲剧的沉重。 喜剧，显然不是，可那些兢兢业业的人最终的收获总是令人满意的，曲折，坚韧，永不言弃，实事求是，目光长远，坦荡，说得更政治化点，为了社会长期的发展。 种豆得豆，种瓜得瓜。sean what's sorn. 永远没有不劳...
★★★★☆ 可以快速看一下，不必一字一句的读。整体很杂乱，但还是有一些看点。 可以详细看一下第六章，讲蔡至勇（Gerald Tsai）（1929-2008）的，迄今为止华尔街最成功的华人投资者，很多牛人写的书多次提及此人，如William J.O’Neil，Peter Lynch，Roy R. Neuberger等。 ...
周复一周，月复一月，两个时期（艾葳注：是指和１９２９年那次崩盘的比较）新的相似之处不断出现。１９７１年，尼克松不断否定由政府直接提供工作机会的计划， …… 省略 …… 当１９３３年美元失去与黄金的兑换能力的旧事于１９７１年８月重现时，距离１９７０年大崩盘只...
《沸腾的岁月》把华尔街在20世纪60年代的那段历史用一种很有条理的手法描写出来。以当时的各种势力和现象作为区分标准将身处其中的人们分别描述，通过这些人的人生轨迹来展示华尔街的整体面貌。 对比以前翻过的《对冲基金风云录》，觉得《沸腾的岁月》情节更紧凑，描述更...
标签：金融史，交易 风格有点象《门口的野蛮人》和《贼巢》。讲述了人们在疯狂的牛市中的疯狂的行为，贪婪，赤裸裸的欺诈和无休止的投机…. 贪婪是造成历次金融危机的根源。从这个角度上看，人类是无法阻止金融危机的再次爆发的。因为人永远无法改变贪婪的本性
