-Titulo Original : Backstage Wall Street An Insider’s Guide To Knowing Who To Trust, Who To Run From, And How To Maximize Your Investments-Fabricante : McGraw Hill-Descripcion Original: Review I have long referred to the author of Backstage Wall Street as Downtown Josh Brown because he is no Uptown Guy. Rather, he is irreverent, unorthodox and iconoclastic.The pages of his new book are filled with colorful exposes of misconduct in the way Wall Street presents and sells itself (and its financial products offerings!). Joshs anecdotes - like his description of the audiences reaction to Piper Jaffrey analyst Nicole Miller Regans questions at a Jamba Juices analyst day - are priceless. (With apologies to Billy Joel) if you have never met a backstreet guy.... run, dont walk to read the Downtown Mans chronicles of deception from those wonderful folks on Wall Street that nearly bankrupted the worlds financial system a few short years ago. -- Doug Kass TheStreet I have long wanted to see a book that would teach ordinary investors how to avoid being cheated by those that create/sell financial products. If this book isnt it, the one that surpasses it will be astounding. If Wall Street is a show, this book gives you a peek behind the curtain. -- David Merkel SeekingAlpha Chances are you haven’t been making the best investing decisions. Why? BECAUSE THAT’S HOW WALL STREET WANTS IT“[T]he always irreverent author of the Reformed Broker blog has written an excellent narrative that shares all of your broker’s dirty little secrets. Much like Michael Lewis’ Liar’s Poker captured the essence of 1980s institutional Wall Street, Brown’s Backstage Wall Street recreates the boiler room retail brokerage culture of the 1990s and early 2000s in vivid color.” FORBES“With a smirk, a lashing wit, and an appropriate irreverence, Joshua Brown gives voice to what all investment professionals are or should be secretly thinking.” MICHAEL SANTOLI, Barron’s columnist“The pages of this book are filled with colorful exposes of misconduct in the way Wall Street presents and sells itself (and its financial products offerings!). . . . Run don’t walk to read Brown’s chronicles of deception [perpetrated by] those wonderful folks on Wall Street, who nearly bankrupted the world’s fi nancial system a few short years ago.” DOUGLAS A. KASS, Seabreeze Partners Management, Inc.“Everything you’ve ever read about Wall Street is a total lie. Everyone is lying to you every day. Until you read this book.” JAMES ALTUCHER, Formula Capital and author of I Was Blind but Now I See“Joshua wants Wall Street to be awesome. You can feel it every day on his amazing blog and in this great book. He is happy to shout when Wall Street drives him crazy. I guarantee you will enjoy this book that describes the action behind the business of Wall Street and his own experiences along the way.” HOWARD LINDZON, Lindzon Capital and founder of StockTwitsJoshua Brown may be the funniest writer on finance today, but Backstage Wall Street could make you cry more than laugh. The buffoons, manipulators, and incompetents Brown parades before us are the stewards of our retirement accounts....Whats important is that investors understand the choices before them. Backstage Wall Street goes a long way to taking us backstage, while making us laugh in the process. BARRONSAbout the Book:Wall Street is very good at one thing: convincing you to act against your own interests. And there’s no one out there better equipped with the knowledge and moxie to explain how it all works than Josh Brown. A man The New York Times referred to as “the Merchant of Snark” and Barron’s called “pot-stirring and provocative,” Brown worked for 10 years in the industry, a time during which he learned some hard truths about how clients are routinely treated and how their money is sent on a one-way trip to Wall Street’s coffers.Backstage Wall Street reveals the inner workings of the world’s biggest money machine and explains how a relatively small confederation of brilliant, sometimes ill-intentioned people fuel it, operate it, and repair it when necessary non...

An appropriate nap schedule is a vital component for your childs healthy, happy life. When you consider all of this, youll also understand that your childs naps - or lack of naps - can affect all 24 hours of your day, as well as your childs. This book will provide you with information about napping and an assortment of solutions that you can pick from to solve all your childs napping problems.
