FIASCO

Another good read, FIASCO, about a former's Morgan Stanley Sales trader's life. Half way through the book now, quite a page turner, like wall street meat and monkey business, provided that you know some of the jargons and financial stuff.

picked up and browse through another book that i read long quite some time ago: The Joseph Cycle. Quite interesting business cycle theory by former UBS technical analyst.

Hope work on Monday will be good..

what is at play...?

Think about this:
1. You are forced to queue and buy food from vendors that have bad food and bad services
2. The food are identical across foodcourts islandwide, priced at identical prices of $3.50, $4.00, $4.50, etc.
3. The places you live in are identical (HDBs), besides those of the rich (Resembling the bereaucrates of the old)
4. is voting secret?

what is at play?

Wall Street Meat

Another one of the wall street sensational books. Seem to be so amazing how people get into wall street jobs so "accidentally".

Picked up the book yesterday as i was browsing in library and finished it within one day. Good read, especially for those who are interested to become equity analysts.

Its similar to "Monkey Business" in the sense that the author is happy to get out of the business before it turned sour and the style of writing. My lecturer or those who are in the business before will say that it's sensationalized. Look at the following quote from the afterword:

"Would I do it again? If I were 25 years old, would I go through the struggle of gaining and keeping a reputation on Wall Street again, as an analyst or in any other role? Yes, in a hearbeat. There is no better vantage point to watch and participate in this thing call capitalism."
