## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not that much on the concept of crowding
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2022*

Crowding, or too much capital, occurs in markets, industries and the broader economy.  Roger Lowenstein's "The End of Wall Street", although not mentioning crowding, gives a better narrative on how crowding in the housing market affected markets, housing related industries and the broader economy than this book does, although this book describes other instances, but not so well.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good on LTCM -- but there's more
  

*by D***K on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2017*

The book starts with a sympathetic, insider account of the LTCM crash, with a goal of generalizing the crowding phenomena that drove that particular situation, that is genuinely excellent. There are lots of numbers, strategic details, and other excellent reporting. The following account of the 2007 quant crash, while equally sympathetic, is substantially less detailed; the idea of deleveraging-driven price changes as a common theme is strong, but there is no rigorous attempt to understand more quantitative similarities.The rest of the book, unfortunately, is a mediocre account of the financial crisis of 2008 from a right-wing-trader perspective, with little to recommend it. Banking executives are treated sympathetically, even when massively negligent or stupid (the author defends the sanity of the short-BBB, long 3x that size of AAA CDO trade that lost Morgan Stanley eight billion dollars, of course omitting that detail) while government actors get snarky footnotes, from an author who can conveniently forget that mortgages generally have a substantial recovery rate only when dealing with Fannie and Freddie (his loss calculation has zero recovery and zero equity, specially for them) and thinks Barney Frank was a senator. There is almost no new reporting in this section. If you know the schlocky Heritage foundation account of the crisis, you can skip everything after the quant crash.I came to this book looking for what the title promised: a sophisticated look at crowded trades and how to reason about them. I left with a great third of a book worth of historical reporting and two-thirds of a book worth of unoriginal ideological trash. If you need that first part, here it is; otherwise, move right along.

*by H***U on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2016*

i really think this is a great book, I purchased this book to focus on what happened in past financial crisis .what the true reason behind the crisis, I was not disappointed--stories in this book were excellently presented. Written in clear, precise prose (no theory obfuscation) and then illustrated with rigorous formulas and copious examples. I found this book make the complicated theory to a very simple way to understand. i really enjoy the time i spend on this book,The book is well organized; individual chapters can be read on a stand alone basis or a group of chapters taken together for a more comprehensive view. It's a volume that's exceptionally well suited for individuals with a solid grasp of fundamental analysis and a strong command of basic financial theories.highly recommend this book.for financial student who also want to investigate in this area, there is another book related to this possibly also useful for you."Quantitative Equity Portfolio Management: An Active Approach to Portfolio Construction and Management (McGraw-Hill Library of Investment and Finance)"
