Description:
"Once I picked it up I did not put it down until I finished. . . .
What Schwed has done is capture fully-in deceptively clean
language-the lunacy at the heart of the investment business."
-- From the Foreword by Michael Lewis, Bestselling author of
Liar's Poker
". . . one of the funniest books ever written about Wall
Street."
-- Jane Bryant Quinn, The Washington Post
"How great to have a reissue of a hilarious classic that proves
the more things change the more they stay the same. Only the names
have been changed to protect the innocent."
-- Michael Bloomberg
"It's amazing how well Schwed's book is holding up after
fifty-five years. About the only thing that's changed on Wall
Street is that computers have replaced pencils and graph paper.
Otherwise, the basics are the same. The investor's need to believe
somebody is matched by the financial advisor's need to make a nice
living. If one of them has to be disappointed, it's bound to be the
former."
-- John Rothchild, Author, A Fool and His Money, Financial
Columnist, Time magazine
Humorous and entertaining, this book exposes the folly and
hypocrisy of Wall Street. The title refers to a story about a
visitor to New York who admired the yachts of the bankers and
brokers. Naively, he asked where all the customers' yachts were? Of
course, none of the customers could afford yachts, even though they
dutifully followed the advice of their bankers and brokers. Full of
wise contrarian advice and offering a true look at the world of
investing, in which brokers get rich while their customers go
broke, this book continues to

Good but heavy smell
Item Package Quantity: 1
I will keep using this bc it works and the sprayer is sooo nice but the smell is so overwhelming. It’s not a bad smell but it’s just so heavy. I’ll use this one but I don’t see myself repurchasing.

Good but confusing instructions
It is very glowy. After spraying this on my husband commented on why I was sweating so much 😹 I told him it’s my face mist spf. I have very dry and very sensitive skin and this has not broken me out (yet). I’ve used it for about a week now. I don’t know how much sun protection I’m really getting though. And reapplying it all through out the day, esp in the summer will lead to very very oily looking skin.
It’s also confusing because it says do not spray directly onto face. (?) I just hold my breath and close my eyes tightly before I put my mascara on and spray this. So far it’s been helpful with not making my make up look cakey. There is a smell but it’s not a bad smell, slightly fruity and the smell of spf. If you are sensitive to smells this might not be for you.

So refreshing, you’ll forget it’s sunscreen.
This stuff is fantastic. I love the super fine mist and how easily the pump works. It is soo refreshing and smells like fresh coconut. Ot doesn’t sting or burn my sensitive eyes, and it leaves my skin feeling revitalized and moisturized, not sticky or tacky. It feels amazing when it’s hot outside and you need a quick refresh and it won’t disturb my makeup. Coola is becoming one of my favorite sunscreen brands.
