Publisher's Synopsis
John is a teacher at the Bluestock Grammar School who yearns to escape from his humdrum world into the dynamic and bedazzling arena of international finance. We follow John as he starts at share dealing firm New Market Securities and witness his rise from naïve training floor junior to steely, worldly–wise dealer fighting to survive on the cut–throat main dealing floor. His story is an object lesson in the perils, illusions, dreams and nightmares of both clients and dealers in the heady world of the stock market.
Stock Market Rollercoaster describes, in frighteningly authentic detail, how a securities business operates. It is the most extraordinary, powerful and streetwise investment guide you′ll ever read. It shatters the barriers of silence that the City puts up and provides a thrilling crash course on how, and how not to, deal on the international stock markets.
