About This Book

A first-person financial memoir and practical survey that draws on five decades of experience in the New York markets, recounting panics, major speculative episodes, and the evolution of trading practices while profiling prominent financiers. The narrative explains methods used to market large government loans, the mechanics behind corners and options, and offers advice for investors and young clerks. Separate chapters consider arbitration in the exchange, the city's development as a financial center, regional investment episodes, and broader social and economic ideas that shaped market behavior.
