Not My Grandfather's Wall Street: Diaries of a Derivatives Trader

Not My Grandfather's Wall Street: Diaries of a Derivatives Trader by von Leib, David. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781682298145.

Follow the path of a numbers-oriented young man through a start-stop career on Wall Street that includes involvement with the 1980 Hunt Silver Crisis, the 1987 Stock Market Crash, the 1999 fall from grace of a guru hedge fund manager, the mysterious death of a famous international banker, life working for a short-crazed global value equity manager, and a path into the world of retail-oriented wealth management. Is it all true? No, but it could be-loosely crafted historical fiction based on an actual career that spanned three decades-a period where derivatives trading went from non-existent to big business.
