More About This Book

Overview

Gene Marcial, the ultimate Wall Street insider and noted Business Week columnist, has finally written the tell-all book that takes a hard look at the realities of business-as-usual on Wall Street. In his fast-paced, compelling style, Marcial drives home the point that the people who are making millions on the Street are almost always betting on "sure things." In Secrets of the Street, Marcial takes you behind the scenes with never-before-told stories of how money is really made on Wall Street. He introduces you to: the investment adviser, also known as the Bagman on the Street, who does whatever it takes to get you to buy his stock; the portfolio manager, whose best friend is a close acquaintance of the former Shah of Iran, and not shy about sharing state secrets on an arms-for-oil deal that led to millions in profits for both of them; and the trader, for whom romance is just another tactic to get the inside scoop on a major joint venture soon to be announced. The names may have been changed to protect the insiders - but the stories are all true.

In the tradition of Den of Thieves and Barbarians at the Gate, Marcial smashes Wall Street's code of silence to bring to the public a book that reveals the biggest inside information.
