About this Book:
- Fooled by Randomness is the word-of-mouth sensation that will change the way you think about business and the world. Nassim Nicholas Taleb–veteran trader, renowned risk expert, polymathic scholar, erudite raconteur, and New York Times bestselling author of The Black Swan–has written a modern classic that turns on its head what we believe about luck and skill.
- This book is about luck–or more precisely, about how we perceive and deal with luck in life and business. Set against the backdrop of the most conspicuous forum in which luck is mistaken for skill–the world of trading–Fooled by Randomness provides captivating insight into one of the least understood factors in all our lives. Writing in an entertaining narrative style, the author tackles major intellectual issues related to the underestimation of the influence of happenstance on our lives.

If someone is right 8 or 9 out of 10 times consistently, it's not luck.
Looks like he's no idiot, but I don't see anything about how much money he made trading options or how accurate he was. Some of the smartest people around are also often the worst traders - such as most doctors, etc.
(Corrected) Read "Reminiscences Of A Stock Operator" about Jesse Livermore and "How to Trade in Stocks" by Livermore. He made over $1B in today's money at one point solely by trading. His mistake was not quitting when up so much, but it doesn't change the fact that he accomplished this legendary feat. These days over 99% of those claiming trading success is nonsense imo, to try to sell a course or chat room subscription.

If you just put your money in an S&P 500 fund and leave it there, you'll do better than the majority of the active traders who think they have the secret sauce to beating the market.
