His book "beat the dealer" was great, what an all time classic. Didn't realize he is involved in the business, he must be about to retire though.

He also wrote, "Beat the Market" shortly after.If you read his bio, he started one of the earliest hedge funds that has been one of the most successful to date. There are some great free articles on Wilmott where he discusses his work over the years. -N
