Hedge Hogs: The Cowboy Traders Behind Wall Street's Largest Hedge Fund Disaster - on Amazon.com
Review : A surprise hit.
One might think that a book about such arcane subjects like hedge funds, natural gas options, swaps , derivatives, etc, etc, would be an absolute bore, but this is not the case. Not in the least! In fact, the book reads almost like a thriller. I just could not put it down. The research is extensive and it is presented in a very user-friendly manner. Another positive note - even though it is sort of an hedge fund industry exposé , the author skillfully avoids sounding preachy or moralistic. I am looking forward to more books from Barbara T. Dreyfuss. Bravo!
