A reader asked me what my favorite books are about financial panics. Before getting into them, it's worth mentioning that books can only do so much.

Yesterday was the best day for stocks since 1933. Last Monday was the worst day since Black Monday in 1987. The volatility has been absolutely dizzying. What the hell is going on?

In a bull market, protecting one's downside gets punished, and after being burned enough times, people tend to lighten up on risk management, or abandon it altogether. This doesn't happen suddenly, it slowly builds over time. In a bull market the more risk you take, the more you're rewarded, and the more you're rewarded, the more you forget about risk.
