I read this book and Lewis' "The Big Short" back to back since they both were given very good reviews. I really enjoyed both books, but liked this one slightly more. The aspect of the book I enjoyed the most was how Zuckerman was able to relate the range of emotions the buyers of "insurance" on subprime loans went through as the housing market tanked. It was by no means all celebration. There was ...             More Money Than God: Hedge Funds and the Making of a New Elite9 reviews Sebastian Mallaby Penguin Press HC, The, 2010 Wonderful trading insight If you have read books like "stock Market wizard" and still feel that you don't have good idea how those people made so much money, this book is for you.

Harper Perennial, 2010 Great for a quick read I don't follow the news very much, just episodes of Daily Show that let me know the general state of the world. So I knew next to nothing about the causes and implications of the financial meltdown or the rationale of the bailout. I picked this book up because I liked the interview format and thought I could learn a little. It turned out to be an amazing read: it was fairly easy to understand, ...             The Little Book of Common Sense Investing: The Only Way to Guarantee Your Fair Share of Stock Market Returns101 reviews Wiley, 2007 My son said: "Thanks" Not much to say, except to report verbatim the email I received from my 24-year old son, to whom I had recently sent this book: "Thanks.

I flipped through this fast paced novel in almost one day! It was so engrossing that I couldn't put it down and just kept on reading, rescheduling appointments and lunch plans around this book! Jean Stone's description of life on the two islands of the Atkinson's (Manhattan AND Martha's Vineyard) is impeccable. The carefully depicted Nikki and Mary Beth and the subtley mysterious Gabrielle ...             No One Would Listen: A True Financial Thriller99 reviews Harry Markopolos Wiley, 2010 Fascinating Harry's book is well worth the read. I am an industry participant who had no interest in reading this account.

Long live liquidity! David Swensen's seminal "Pioneering Portfolio Management" book has been, and will probably continue to be, one of the more widely read and followed books on institutional portfolio construction. Yet here, in "The Invisible Hands", it sounds like Steve Drobny is essentially saying that the endowment model that Swensen has espoused for decades is no longer valid in today's world. Endowments (and ...             Confidence Game: How a Hedge Fund Manager Called Wall Street's Bluff15 reviews Christine S. Richard Bloomberg Press, 2010 Worth the money Excellent book.

It is written in a language that most all of us, from beginners to seasoned veterans, can easily understand. If you are a buy-and-holder, you probably will not like the book as much, although it might open up a new way of looking at the different philosophies of investment. In my ...             The Ask: A Novel37 reviews Sam Lipsyte Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2010 Sweet and Sour Hilariously funny, bitterly precise, each word a perfectly sharpened dagger. "The Ask" manages to be all at once resigned, despairing, and hopeful; about grim hatred and bottomless love. It manages to present a "compleat sampler" of 21st-century American types: in no particular order, the disfigured Iraq veteran; the septuagenarian mother seeking lesbian pleasure after her two-timing husband has ...             Fooling Some of the People All of the Time: A Long Short Story53 reviews Wiley, 2008 Fantastic, Eye Opening Read! "Fooling Some of the People All of the Time" is an eye-opening book that tells the story of hedge fund manager David Einhorn, Greenlight Capital, high profile short position in Allied Capital and the drama that resulted from it.

I love this book - it's been one of my daughter's favorites since we bought it, and it still is. (She was 3 months when we got it and is 12 months now.)
