Hi all,
Yes I will second that opinion. Tharp has taken the subject of money
management and system design and given it a good shake with his book.
Highly recommended, for both amatures and Pro's alike IMHO.
His analogies on position sizing (the snowfight analogy) are quite usefull.
This book is destined to become a classic.
Cheers,
Dave
