Street Fighters

Its about the fall of Bear Stearns...good read

The books are all exactly the same. Same exact story, same cast of characters, same everything. There are so many damn authors trying to capitalize on this one event it truly befuddles me.

It's analogous to being at a party where a fight breaks out and the cops get called. The police come in and interview everyone, and all 30 tell a different story about things that happened at the party, who they were personally hanging out with, what type of beer they were drinking, so forth and so on. It's juts 30 different accounts of the same damn fight and events surrounding the event!

If you have read on, you've read them all

^^I am reading The big short. Read "Too big to Fail" and "House of Cards". They are all different in a way.

"Too big to fail", is most about Paulson, and gives a background of all the major CEOs, and just how each firm in time of war.

"House of Cards" focuses on Bear Sterns history, and its history is very unique from various firms. Cayne was once the highest paid CEO on the street.

"The big short" is about unknown guys shorting subprime.

I can't believe no one said "The Zeroes"

Monkey business, The last man standing., King of Oil

The Greatest Trade Ever The Predator's Ball

By "Too big to fail" do you mean the Sorkin version or the Stern, Feldman one?

The Quants by Scott Patterson (Currently writing a book focused on HFT which should be pretty interesting) Diary of a Very Bad Year - Confessions of an Anonymous Hedge Fund Manager

Second Colossal Failure and Big Short

The Quants was good the first couple chapters but I got kind of bored tbh

Traders, Guns and Money is a must for anyone thinking about trading
