"Disguised and designed in the form of a book, Speculation! stands out as a vivid memento of the twenties bull market. It reproduces stock reports, city pages, and the movement of the tape, 'For Wall Street sharks it may be played, however, on margins, using stop orders, selling short etc.' Published in 1929, we’ll never know how many copies survived after the crash" (Dennistoun).
