Ever wonder what happens to the money you send to your mutual fund? Ever wonder exactly what it takes to produce the performance numbers on your monthly statement? Maybe you own a few stocks, and buy and sell from time to time. But how would you like to be responsible for managing a $2 billion portfolio? What goes on behind the doors of those auspicious funds? Where does your money really go?
It's a world of high-flying sales pitches and hair-raising decisions with the potential for million-dollar gains-or losses. You'll sit in on meetings with the hottest new companies pitching their IPOs. You'll eavesdrop on phone conversations with leading analysts and traders. Which stocks will take off, and which will tank? Baker puts you in the room, at the trading desk, in the moment, and inside the collective minds of Frey's money management team.
It's also a world of cutthroat competition, where every fund is driven to beat the others and produce record returns. A day of prosperity means nothing unless it's maintained into the next day, the next week, the next month, the next quarter, and, ultimately, into the end of the year. A good year rakes in investment dollars and prestige, and a top year-a real, blowout winner-means you can write your own ticket. In High-Flying Adventures in the Stock Market, you'll find out exactly what it's like to compete for these stakes-to feel the intense pressures, and live the human drama of the markets.
This captivating story gives you unprecedented access to the real world of the market. Baker shows you exactly why Frey buys the stocks he buys, and why and when he sells. You'll learn firsthand what happens when the Fed lowers rates, and what a savvy mutual fund manager does when the market takes a tumble. You'll be able to see what the pros do, and as a result, you'll get a better handle on how you're managing your own money right now.
But even if you've never managed a dollar, you'll be engrossed by Baker's true tale of money, risk, and returns. It's the clearest look you'll ever have into the high-flying world of the stock market. PRAISE FOR HIGH-FLYING ADVENTURES IN THE STOCK MARKET
