Grandioso libro en el que un trader de volatilidad de tipos cuenta un montón de historias interesantes sobre el negocio, mezcladas con divertidas opiniones y en general repartiendo estopa a todo lo que se menea. Un compañero a quien se lo presté me dijo que era "demasiado real". Un grandísimo libro. ( )
