Review Fifty Years in Wall Street (Big Business) / Ayer Co Pub:The definitive look at Wall Street in the 19th Century Perhaps the 19th century's best book on Wall Street, Fifty Years in Wall Street provides a fascinating look at the financial markets during a period of rapid economic expansion. Henry Clews was a giant figure in finance at that time, and his firsthand account brings this colorful era to life like never before. He reveals shocking stories of political and economic manipulation and how he helped bring down the mighty Boss Tweed. He writes eloquently about the madness of the markets and how the era's greatest speculators amassed their fortunes. This book provides an expansive view of Wall Street in an era of little regulation, rampant political corruption, and rapid financial change. Henry Clews was born in England in 1836 and emigrated to the United States in 1850. In 1859, he cofounded what became the second largest marketer of federal bonds during the Civil War. Later, he organized the "Committee of 70," which deposed the corrupt Tweed Ring in New York City, and served as an economic consultant to President Ulysses Grant.

Review The Art of Speculation (Leisure Class in America) / Arno Press:First published in 1930, The Art of Speculation by Philip Carret has long been praised for its perceptive examination of the various ways that speculation impacts the worlds of both business and financial trading. Now, almost seven decades later, a newly updated edition proves as instructive as ever on this and related investment topics such as short selling, government regulation, options, and arbitrage. Chapters on reading a balance sheet and an income statement remain classics. "The Art of Speculation is laden with insights and studies that are as fresh today as newly cut grass. a joy to read. The topics covered were timeless in 1931. [+]and written in 24-carat prose. " -from the Foreword by Victor Niederhoffer A classic in every sense of the word, The Art of Speculation has been heralded by investors, both past and present, as a true standout in the field. Written by Philip Carret -a Wall Street legend long considered a leading thinker in basic value investing -this timeless work is as vital a part of finance literature today as it was when it first appeared almost seventy years ago. Acclaim for The Art of Speculation "Philip Carret has been practicing the art of investing longer than anyone. In the current frothy stock market environment it is helpful to read his insights into the Great Crash of 1929 to see if there are useful parallels. Beginning investors will find The Art of Speculation instructive and students of the market will learn much about what investing was like seven decades ago before computers, derivatives, junk bonds, discount brokers, and hedge funds.

Review The Next Telecom Boom in 50 Pages / Monnoz Publishing:New advances in telecommunications technology, including IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS), VoIP, IPTV, and WiMAX, present the prospect of new market entrants drastically undercutting incumbent telecommunications service providers (telephone companies and cable/satellite TV providers) in operational expenses (OPEX) while enjoying much higher revenue by offering a triple and quadruple play of services (voice, video, data and mobile services) that incumbent service providers cannot offer without drastic captial expenditures (CAPEX). In short, legacy service providers will be driven out of business by disruptive technologies wielded by either new market entrants or their more aggressive competitors. In order to compete, all service providers will have to deploy next generation networks which will result in a greater build out of telecom networks than what was seen in the late 1990's.
