...I have the book - but haven't read it yet!


Paul,

I love the book, but it has nothing to do with analysts (mostly about salespeople and traders at Solly in the early 80's). Does talk about "blowing up" clients by selling inappropriate securities to customers (institutions and, maybe, wealthy individuals) who should have known better.

Some real classic Wall Street stories though (many people took the book a little too seriously, however).

Gives some notion of the characters who were later involved in that Treasury bond scandal.
