Interesting history of little remembered names on Wall Street Neil F. Sambol Very interesting but marred by the author's frequent personal remarks against the regulators and regulation of Wall Street in any way.

It is clear that NO ONE read the Kindle version before it went to press. I took another star off for this.This book is not about trading, it is about the history and people that made up the market that we have today. If you are looking for a good trading book, there are many to be found elsewher. Five Stars The Duffer well done
