In case any of you missed it, the author of Leveraged Sell-out has released his latest creation: "Damn it Feels good to Be a Banker"
To get your copy you can click on the image below. LSO was also kind enough to send us 10 free copies...SOOOO, I will also be giving away 5 free copies to the first 5 Certified Users and 5 free copies to any registered users ranked Baboon or higher.
The free giveaway has concluded. You guys are damn fast when we are giving something away for free! Should be interesting when we start giving away certain training classes next month through The Analyst Exchange.
Anyways, If you do not receive a PM from me by 10:00pm EST you are probably out of luck. I'm sorry but I can't respond to you all because I received about 30PMs and took the first 10 that matched the criteria. thanks...to those of you that won, congrats. You should expect your book by mid next week.
This is a very funny book. It is a quick read, very funny, and I think it actually provides a good overview of investment banking and the role of an analyst if you can see through the elitist satire. I thought the dancing and recruiting sections were great.

I read this book in two days, it's a very easy ready. 95% of the book is hilarious. However, the book discusses the life of investment bankers rather than what bankers actually do.
I thought Monkey Business was much better.
It's a humor book, not a "Investment Banking for Dummies" (or for College Sophomores who only want to apply to Goldman Sachs) Book .
How investment bankers act/live is humorous and can easily be satirized, turning at pitch for the 100th time at 3am isn't funny
I understand it's a humor book. So was Monkey Business and it did a hell of a job explaining what Bankers actually do. I would have enjoyed the book more if it discussed what bankers really do, you can make that funny too.
Also, I am glad you remember me --- you really touch my heart

Looking forward to reading it. The interview with BBall is pretty funny, too:

Quick read, I found it really funny (although it does get a little wearing in some parts..there's only so much elitism I can take in one sitting). I fully plan on implementing the "raising capital" dance move next time I am at a club...
I recommend reading the "Preppy Handbook." I think it's the gold standard in elitist reading.

Just read the interview, pretty hilarious. But how the hell do you manage to spend $1000 at the patriot?
250 burgers + 250 PBRs. I've only managed to foot a $100 there in my dozen or so visits.
Oh come on we all already know that traders rule the roost in terms of partying it up.
"Oh - the ladies ever tell you that you look like a fucking optical illusion?"
It was a really funny book. I laughed for a long time after reading some parts, especially the guy's description of a clearing house.
how bout give out a free copy to the guy who has that screen name here?
Relax children its friday.
"Oh - the ladies ever tell you that you look like a fucking optical illusion?"
Fuck, I go to the school: "Bright Lights, No Future" It made me sad. Anyways, it's a hilarious book. I'm sure most college students dreaming about the banking lifestyle will enjoy it.
And before I get flamed, yes, I know that's not how it is in reality.
Was my post deleted? Are you kidding me?
WSO = Communist China
yes, your post was deleted. no, we are not kidding you. didn't it basically consist of you telling someone to give you head? i'm sorry we had to depart with such valuable, entertaining and useful information. tip: maybe next time your immature attempts to bash someone on an public message board won't get deleted if it actually says something worthwhile.
