1.The Greatest Trade Ever: The Behind-the-Scenes Story of How John Paulson Defied Wall Street and Made Financial HistoryThe Greatest Trade Ever: The Behind-the-Scenes Story of How John Paulson Defied Wall Street and Made Financial History
from Broadway Business
Price: $14.95

Customer Review:
While i agree that this book will give you some insight about the world of hedge funds, it is a far cry from teaching you how you can benefit from this knowledge. Reading it felt exciting, yet empty. The reason for it is that if you truly want to learn how to make money in the stock-market you need... more info

Price: $15.35

Customer Review:
Without a doubt, this book is thoroughly and expertly researched.
However, it took me numerous ambivalent weeks to read it (BTW, it is not at all unusual for me to read 3 books at once and be finished with them all in two days and I am most positively interested in technology). Unfortunately,... more info

from HarperBusiness
Price: $10.39

Customer Review:
Although this book was written about successful businesses, I read it with school reform in mind. I hope to see our schools move from good schools to great ones in the next few years. I found the book easy to read and inspirational.

4.Last Man Standing: The Ascent of Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan ChaseLast Man Standing: The Ascent of Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan Chase
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $14.99

Customer Review:
Although I doubt it will win any awards, the book was an interesting and easy to read synopsis of where Jamie Dimon came from and the major events shaping the 'banking' crisis. Lots of things likely not included but that's to be expected. The whole relationship with Sandy Weill was quite an... more info

5.The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of LifeThe Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life
from Bantam
Price: $8.78

Customer Review:
For me the value of this was:
1) A portrit of somebody who realised he did not fit the profile for success in the corporate world and focused on what did fit his profile i.e. investing, which drew on his strengths without being hampered by his weaknesses. Inspirational.
2) The description... more info

from St. Martin's Press
Price: $13.00

Customer Review:
I read "Metal Men" by Copetas when it was published in the 1980's. At the time it was a supposed expose about Marc Rich and his expoitative behavior and treachery, and was the only book written about him. There was never an interview with Rich in the book, and when I re-read it after the Clinton... more info

Customer Review:
Anyone else who was similarly disappointed by "Tibman's" nearly illiterate THE MURDER OF LEHMAN BROTHERS can take solace in the fact that this is a much more coherent account of the demise of this institution as a result of attempting to exploit difficult-to-understand financial instruments that... more info
