In a colorful and revealing memoir, a former top Wall Street analyst describes his personal discovery of the twisted and tempting world of high-stakes investment, discussing the pervasive use of inside information, the corruption that cheated many investors, and how the insider's game is really played. Reprint.
Confessions of a Wall Street Analyst provides a front-row seat at one of the most dramatic - and ultimately tragic - periods in financial history. Dan Reingold recounts his introduction to the world of Wall Street leaks and secret deal-making; his experiences with corporate fraud; and Wall Street's alarming penchant for lavish spending and multimillion-dollar pay packages.
Some of Reingold's stories are outrageous, other hilarious, and many are simply absurd. But, together, they provide a sobering expose of Wall Street: a jungle of greed and ego, a place brimming with conflicts and inside information, and a business absurdly out of touch with the Main Street it claims to serve. This book is a no-holds-barred insider's account that will open the eyes of every investor.
