The Investing Secrets of Jack Dreyfus
Jack Dreyfus was a successful investor from the 1950s to the 1960s and, according to Barron's, he was considered the second most significant money manager of the last century. He was so successful financially that he could afford to develop his interests in many other fields. For example, after selling his fund in the 1970s, he wrote a book on a medicine called phenytoin and became a major proponent of it as a cure for nervousness and depression. He was also a champion bridge player, as well as a breeder and trainer of racehorses.
