I can highly recommend reading Blowing Up by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. It is a short essay about his different investment approach compared to Victor Niederhoffer, a big name in the stock markets in late 1990s. When you like the conecpts of The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness, this is a must read. You can find it currently here or you can simply search for Blowing Up Nassim Nicholas Taleb type:pdf
