Industry Reviews As a long-time investor and managing director at Merrill, Lynch, Fridson has some stories to tell about Wall Street, and he does so here in a straightforward, easy-to-read manner. Beginning with the infamous Dutch bulb incident of the 1600s, Fridson dispels one myth after another, and explains how commonly held perceptions are used to manipulate investors. This book won't teach you how to drive the road of Wall Street, but it will explain what the road signs really mean. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
