具體描述

Edward O. Thorp is the author of the bestseller Beat the Dealer, which transformed the game of blackjack. His subsequent book, Beat the Market, co-authored with Sheen T. Kassouf, influenced securities markets around the globe. Thorp is one of the world’s best blackjack players and investors, and his hedge funds were profitable every year for twenty-nine years. He lives in Newport Beach, California.

The incredible true story of the card-counting mathematics professor who taught the world how to beat the dealer and, as the first of the great quantitative investors, ushered in a revolution on Wall Street.

A child of the Great Depression, legendary mathematician Edward O. Thorp invented card counting, proving the seemingly impossible: that you could beat the dealer at the blackjack table. As a result he launched a gambling renaissance. His remarkable success—and mathematically unassailable method—caused such an uproar that casinos altered the rules of the game to thwart him and the legions he inspired. They barred him from their premises, even put his life in jeopardy. Nonetheless, gambling was forever changed.

Thereafter, Thorp shifted his sights to “the biggest casino in the world”: Wall Street. Devising and then deploying mathematical formulas to beat the market, Thorp ushered in the era of quantitative finance we live in today. Along the way, the so-called godfather of the quants played bridge with Warren Buffett, crossed swords with a young Rudy Giuliani, detected the Bernie Madoff scheme, and, to beat the game of roulette, invented, with Claude Shannon, the world’s first wearable computer.

Here, for the first time, Thorp tells the story of what he did, how he did it, his passions and motivations, and the curiosity that has always driven him to disregard conventional wisdom and devise game-changing solutions to seemingly insoluble problems. An intellectual thrill ride, replete with practical wisdom that can guide us all in uncertain financial waters, A Man for All Markets is an instant classic—a book that challenges its readers to think logically about a seemingly irrational world.

長期以來,我便認為賭博與投資是相通的事情,事實上,關於勝率和賠率的描述,也越來也多的被應用在瞭關於投資的日常對話中。盡管作為機構投資者,上述觀點似乎有失政治正確,但不可否認的,中短期而言(關於長期價格是否一定嚮價值迴歸抑或是否存在一個本源的“價值”的事情涉...

##自傳。索普早年跟香農和凱利同在貝爾實驗室,但他特彆想掙錢,動瞭很多腦筋。他是最早跑到賭場去算21點的那批人之一,大勝,後來寫瞭本書《戰勝莊傢》;後來發現可轉債錯價,就是可轉債隱含期權價格與對應股票價格之間的錯配,於是成立對衝基金搞這個,又賺瞭很多錢,是最早的對衝基金管理人,然後又寫瞭本書《戰勝市場》。雖然後來捲入醜聞公司關瞭,總的來說是人生大贏傢,腦袋好使,錢袋很鼓。 在新書自序中,索普說,自己基本靠自學,所以想得跟人不同。 第一,不盲從常識,比如說不能戰勝賭場。我得自己試試。 第二,我習慣將純粹思想變成盈利工具。 第三,設定目標,製定可行計劃,堅持到底。 第四,努力做到一貫理性,不是說在某個專業領域裏而已,而是在與世界打交道的所有方麵。 第五,在基於證據作齣決策之前,保留判斷。

##寫至PNP關門前都還挺有意思的,不少有趣的故事,尤其是和香農一起玩耍的那段故事。之後就是一段財務自由的老頭的狗尾續貂瞭。
