Very Informative and Well Written, 2008-07-17
Very well researched and well written. It lacks only one thing. It needs a glossary for those of us unfamiliar with all of the terms specific to the financial industry. Like any technical book, if it is to garner a wider readership it must have a glossary. I had to read it with a dictionary at my side.

Insightful and Intelligent, 2008-05-22
Arlene Bronstein's brilliant descriptions of the Chicago Board of Trade is insightful. The research of over 20 members and information that went into the book is intelligent and is an accurate account about what took place inside the board of trade.

It also gave me the opportunity to discover all the different experiences that real members had and the thought process behind the hallmarks of the exchange.

This is my favorite book of 2008 and a must read for someone that likes to hear about brilliant people's real decisions and thoughts as it relates to business, finance and relationships.
