AUTHOR’S NOTE TO THE PAPERBACK EDITION

The interviews for this book were conducted from mid-1999 through early 2000—in other words, just before the major top in the stock market (March 2000). Since then, the S&P 500 has been nearly halved, while the Nasdaq has lost nearly three-quarters of its value (as of the end of September 2002).

Thus readers of these interviews are likely to think: “Yes, but how have they done lately?” Fair question.

In the revised edition, detailed answers to this question have been provided at the end of each chapter, along with short follow-up interviews, focusing on the experience of the traders during this protracted bear market.
