   For a different take people might be interested in "A Mathematician Plays the Stockmarket", by John Allen Paulos (he also wrote the excellent "Innumeracy").

   The book explains a bunch of mistakes he made when investing.

   A Joke from A Mathematician Plays The Stock Market (I think):

   Two Efficient Market theorists were walking down the street and see a $100 bill lying there. They both keep on walking and one says to the other "If that was real, someone would have picked it up by now."
