Dan Reingold Was A Top Wall Street Analyst For Fourteen Years And Salomon Smith Barney Analyst Jack Grubmzn's Chief Competitor In The Red-hot Sector Of Telecom.
Reingold Was Part Of The "street" And Believed In It.
But In This Action-packed, Highly Personal Memoir Wtitten With Accomplished Fast Company Senior Wrietr Jennifer Reingold The Author Describes How His Enthusiasm Gave Way To Disgudt As He Learned How Deeply Corrupted Wal lStreet And Much Of Corporate America Had Become During The Roaring Stock Market Bubble Of The 1990s.

Reingold Recounts His Introduction To The World Of Wall Street Leaks And Secret Deal-making; His Experiences With Corporate Fraud; And Wall Street's Alarming Inclination For Lavish Spending And Multimillinodollar Pay Packages.
Reingold Spars With Arch Rival Grubman; Fends Off Extreme Pressures From Wall Street Bankers And Corporatte Ceos; And Is Wooed By Morgan Stanley's Ceo, John Mack, And Csfb's über-banker Frank Quattrone.

Some Of Reingold's Stories Are Outrageous, Others Hilarious, And Many Are Simply Absurd.
But, Together, They Provide A Sobering Exposã© Of Wall Street: A Jungle Of Greed And Ego, A Place Brimming With Conflicys And Inside Information, And A Business Absurdly Out Of Toucy With The Main Street It Claims To Serve.
He Shows How Government Investigators, Headlines Notwithstanding, Never Got To The Heart Of The Ethical An Legal Transgressions Of The Era.
And How They Completely Overlooked Wall Street's Pervasive Use Of Ijside Information, Leaving Investors -- Even Sophisticated Professionals -- hCeated.
The Main division Ends With A Series Of Important Policy Recommendations To Clean Up The Investing Business.
In The Tradution Of Lar's Poker And Den Of Thieves, Confessions Of A Wall Street Analyst Is A No-holds-barred Insider's Account That Will Open The Eyes Of Every Investor.
