Product Description:
A shocking appraisal that shows how Wall Street is intrinsically corruptand what individual investors can do to protect themselves
For several years high-profile corporate wrongdoers have been vilified by the media. Yet the problem, according to Gary Weiss, is not just a few isolated instances of malfeasance. The problem is in the very fabric of Wall Street and its practices that enable and even encourage corruptionpractices that are so pervasive and so difficult to combat that they are in effect perfect crimes, with the small investor left holding the bag.
In this blistering report from the front, Weiss describes how the ethos of Mafia chophouses, boiler rooms, and penny stock peddlers now permeates all of Wall Street. Protected from investor lawsuits by laughably corrupt arbitration systems, Wall Street firms are free to fleece unsuspecting clients with little or no risk. But as this empowering book shows, ordinary investors can fight back and come out on topif they learn to recognize warning signs, filter media chatter, and spot looming corporate meltdowns in advance.
Prepare to be surprised, get angry, and then get even. Wall Street Versus America is a wild ride you cant afford to miss.
Rating:
- Now I know...
I am only about 3/4 the way through this book, but had I read it a few years ago, I probably wouldn't have stock investments and wouldn't have seen my retirement funds go down the tube as they have.
Rating:
- Wall Street Versus America
The book was in mint condition, well price and delivered promptly. I definitely recommend the seller to anyone interested in trustworthy sellers. I would not hesitate to buy another book from this seller.
Rating: - If you're a small investor, this book will make you cry.
I recently received a small inheritance, and bought this book for some suggestions on what to do with it. After reading this scathing account of how careless, and frequently criminal, Wall Street is with investors' money, I think the best thing to do with it is stuff it in a pillow case and throw it in the closet.
I looked at other reviews here to see if anyone in the know disputed any of Gary Weiss' claims, and, alarmingly, no one did. A former Business Week columnist, Weiss definitely appears ... Read More
Rating: - This is required reading for anyone owning stocks
I was hired to co-author a book on the stock market, and initially was skeptical of the claims made by my client about Wall Street. However, when I began doing research, it was "Wall St. Versus America" that made me take notice and realize that we are being manipulated by a group of people who addicted to accumulating wealth without remorse.
Weiss' makes a powerful and well-documented case that there is a powerful group of Wall St. execs, CEO's, government officials, Congress and the financial ... Read More
Rating: - "Bravo" from an ordinary investor
I'm just an ordinary investor who has been feeling like a piece of bait for the securities industry- until now.
I applaud you for Wall Street Versus America. Reading it made me realize that my concerns and suspicions are valid and that I'm not alone. Not only that, it provided the beacon I need to have the confidence to be aggressive with my questions, bold with my actions and to never again blindly follow the "advice" of a broker and never again exist only to have my portfolio's mission priority ...
