Like the stock market?
I thought this was an excellent book. If you like the stock market or history, you will like this book. The author goes back to the beginnings of the stock market. He spends a lot of time talking about the 1700 and 1800's, how Wall Street got started. Read how J. P. Morgan played Allen Greenspan. How he raised 20 million dollars in 15 minutes! Read about a stock that went from 200 dollars to a thousand! Read about the big dogs in the market who made and lost millions. The only thing I didn't like about it was the author didn't spend as much time on the Great Depression as I would have liked. That is my only complaint. An excellent book.Kevin
