Reviews"Vintage Jason Zweig: entertaining, truthful and oh so telling about Wall Street. The definition of Day Trader -' n. See IDIOT ' - says it all. Any investor who does not read this witty, insightful and rueful reminder of Wall Street's financial follies is an IDIOT!" -- Consuelo Mack , anchor and executive producer, Consuelo Mack WealthTrack "Jason Zweig has long been a brilliant financial journalist. People who have listened to Jason have shielded their assets from the purveyors of costly and useless advice. In The Devil's Financial Dictionary , Jason turns his wit and insight to arming us with an understanding of the financial terms that too many professionals use to intentionally baffle investors." -- Max H. Bazerman , co-director, the Center for Public Leadership, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University; author of The Power of Noticing "Jason Zweig, one of the great truth-tellers in financial journalism, is the spiritual heir to Ambrose Bierce, one of the great satirists in American letters. Both use piercing wit to reveal important truths." -- Gary Belsky , coauthor of Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes and How to Correct Them
