Confessions Of A Wall Street Analyst: A True Story Of Inside Information And Corruption In The Stock Market

Daniel Reingold was one of the top analysts on Wall Street, specializing in telecom companies such as WorldCom and Qwest. Reingold believed in Wall Street, but in this memoir he describes how his enthusiasm gradually gave way to disgust when he saw how deeply corrupt Wall Street really was. Since big investors had the advantage of inside information, which companies shared with more accomodating analysts, Reingold found that a straight arrow like himself was doomed to fail.

In the tradition of Liar’s Poker, Confessions of a Wall Street Analyst is a lively account of how things really work on Wall Street that will teach even Eliot Spitzer a few things. This very personal story is a warts-and-all look at the investing business that is extremely relevant in today’s post-scandal world.
