The Buy Side: Bestsellers Investiții financiare

Autor Turney Duff
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iul 2017
'A raw and rollicking memoir about the sordid underbelly of big money, fast-paced hedge funds.' New York Times

Wall Street. Where drugs and sex are the quid pro quo, and millions of dollars flow to those willing to dangle the right enticements. Turney Duff was an average guy, eager to expand his horizons. Where he found himself would blow his mind.

After starting as a trainee at Morgan Stanley, Turney rose rapidly through the ranks, ending up as a powerful trader at one of Wall Street's biggest firms. He was finally on 'the buy side', with brokers on 'the sell side', who would offer anything to please the traders. Encouraged to socialize and siphon information from his new contacts, Turney began to live a hedonistic lifestyle - the harder he partied, the more connected and successful he became, which meant he could party even harder. In time, he became a walking paradox, an addictive mess after hours, and King of the Street from nine to five.

The Buy Side is Turney Duff's high-adrenaline journey through the trading underworld, as well as a searing look at the after-hours Wall Street culture which nearly killed him.

Descriere

The New York Times Bestseller

 

The Buy Side is Turney Duff's high-adrenaline journey through the trading underworld, as well as a searing look at an after-hours Wall Street culture where sex and drugs are the quid pro quo and a billion isn't enough. In the mid-2000's, Turney Duff was, to all appearances, the very picture of American success. One of Wall Street's hottest traders, he was a rising star with Raj Rajaratnam's legendary Galleon Group before forging his own path.

What few knew was that the key to Turney's remarkable success wasn't a super-genius IQ or family connections but rather a winning personality - because the real money wasn't made on the trading floor or behind a computer screen, but in whispered deals in the city's most exclusive nightspots, surrounded by the best drugs and hottest women. For Turney, this created a perilously seductive cycle: the harder he partied, the more connected and successful he became, which meant he could party even harder. In time, he became a walking paradox, an addictive mess after hours, and King of the Street from nine to five.

Along the way, he learned some important lessons about himself, and the too-wild-to-believe world of Wall Street trading. In The Buy Side, the money is plentiful and the after-hours indulgence even more so, which has proved to be a bestselling and box office winning combination, as the success of The Wolf of Wall Street attests. Fans of Martin Scorsese's film and Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker and The Big Short will want to take a walk on The Buy Side.
