"This warmly written book brilliantly captures the formation and evolution of the legendary Turtle investment program. It is loaded with wonderful anecdotal insights plus lessons on trading, risk, and life we should all follow. It should be on any novice or seasoned trader’s bookshelf alike. A must read!"
-- Michael Shannon, Original Turtle
"If you want to beat the market, you have to do something different from what everyone else is doing, and you have to be right. In this fascinating and instructive book, Michael Covel tells how a group of novice traders used a system that generated trades that were both different and right, and which made them a lot of money. If you want to understand the real world of trading, read this book." -- Bill Miller, Legg Mason Capital Management, Summer 2007
"Turtle Trader is a story. It's a beach-chair page-turner loaded with interesting, even offbeat, characters and, a fair dose of drama. It's part Chicago historical account and sociology text." -- SFO Magazine, September 2007
Covel so clearly lays out [the] ingredients of success, his book is relevant ... to anyone who aspires to greatness in the markets. -- Brett Steenbarger, author of The Psychology of Trading and Enhancing Trading Performance
Most beat-the-market books aren't worth my shelf space. This one is. -- Bloomberg
