About This Book

A candid first-person account of speculative promotion and financial adventurism chronicles running tip services, organizing betting coups, and engineering mining stock booms and collapses. Through episodic anecdotes of advertising campaigns, market manipulation, and theatrical press-agency stunts, the narrator explains how publicity, rumor and pooled credit amplified tiny ventures into frenzied speculation and sudden crashes. The narrative alternates vivid storytelling with practical observations about investor credulity, the mechanics of promotion, and the ethical ambiguity of making profits from other people's money.
