✦ Synopsis

Why five stars: cause it's a nice book for those that know wall street without really understanding how it works (so great title). Still it is soft but the content is rather strong, not too boring, short and the p[resentation is very good. Built aroud lots of questions-answers, that might interest a very large public. Advice: Buy it cause it is very cheap for the information it provides compared to other books Note: That is a great introductory book
