Silence of the Turtles
One of the most interesting aspects of the Turtles was Jack Schwager’s chapter title of “The Silence of the Turtles” in his classic book “The New Market Wizards” (1992). While there was almost no information in that book on the Turtles (no one would really talk to Schwager in detail) the book did set in motion a Turtle secrecy mantra that for many has stayed in place all the way to this day. My book “The Complete TurtleTrader” took two related efforts to bring the book together: it was a combination of detailed investigative research and first person interviews. To this day some of the Turtles still don’t want the story out there, even though it is one great, educational lesson for everyone.
