Martin Schwartz (aka Buzzy, aka Marty Schwartz) is a once legendary trader on Wall Street. His trading prowess has been documented in two very good books that I have read : Market Wizards : Interviews with Top Traders by Jach Schwager and Pit Bull : Lessons from Wall Street’s Champion Day Trader an autobiography by Martin Schwartz himself (of course).

Schwartz honed his trading skills after periods of losses by formulating a strict trading plan with lots of research in the markets. By setting himself goals he has been able to achieve outstanding success as a trader.

Schwartz has certainly achieved a lot in his trading career. His trading results speak for themselves, but he also took part and won many trading contests.

However, with this success, there also came a lot of stress - resulting in sickness and emergency heart surgery rescuing him from certain death. And finaly a change in lifestyle and scenery by moving from New York to Florida.

Jack Schwager is certainly well known in trading circles. He is the managing director and principal of The Fortune Group - an asset management firm that is regulated in the UK and USA - where he is also the principal investment manager of the Market Wizard Funds.

However, what Jack Schwager is probably most well known for is his work as an author on a series of books about trading and financial markets. This is an area where he has brought together his 30+ years of experience in the field of financial investing.

Nicolas Darvas was a world famous American dancer back in the mid 1900’s. After making a profit in some stock of a Canadian mining firm (which he bought from the proprietors of a Canadian dance venue), Darvas was hooked on chasing a quick buck in the Stock Market.

Like many before him, Darvas was convinced that having made an initial profit, he was some kind of natural born stock market speculator. However (again like many before him) Darvas took loss after loss on the Canadian stock market after buying in and out of the market on the advice of brokers and newsletters.
