Andy Kessler fue ventas/analista de Morgan Stanley unos años. Luego fue gestor de un hedge fund. Aquí narra su historia de esos años. Es un relato interesante, en el que le atiza a todo lo que se mueve y, según el tópico, no deja títere con cabeza. Cuenta cosas interesantes sobre el funcionamiento de los bancos de inversión y narra desde dentro la catástrofe de las puntocom. Es una lectura entretenida y útil para los interesados en el funcionamiento de la banca de inversión.
