Where Are the Customers' Yachts?

The book's sharp wit makes it stand out—I'm curious what personal experiences or observations led Fred Schwed Jr. to write this critique.

Many of the stories and criticisms seem timeless, but I wonder if some of the context has shifted with recent financial scandals and reforms.

The tone is both entertaining and insightful, which makes me wonder whether that was a deliberate choice or a happy accident during writing.
