FIASCO is the shocking story of one man's education in thejungles of Wall Street. As a young derivatives salesman at MorganStanley, Frank Partnoy learned to buy and sell billions of dollarsworth of securities that were so complex many traders themselvesdidn't understand them. In his behind-the-scenes look at thetrading floor and the offices of one of the world's top investmentfirms, Partnoy recounts the macho attitudes and fiercelycompetitive ploys of his office mates. And he takes us to theannual drunken skeet-shooting competition, FIASCO, where he and hiscolleagues sharpen the killer instincts they are encouraged to useagainst their competitiors, their clients, and each other. FIASCO is the first book to take on the derivatves tradingindustry--the most highly charged and risky sector of the stockmarket. More importantly, it is a blistering indictment of thelargely unregulated market in derivatives and serves as a warningto unwary investors about real fiascos, which have cost billions ofdollars.

Swensen, CIO of Yale University and the author of Pioneering Portfolio Management, reveals why the mutual fund industry as a whole does a disservice to the individual investor. Soft money, 12b-1 fees, overtrading, market timing, and other management practices lower performance and virtually guarantee that most mutual fund returns will fall short of their benchmark, such as the S&P 500. Furthermore, for-profit mutual fund companies have a fiduciary obligation to their stockholders, not to their investors, and this relationship "inevitably resolves in favor of the bottom line." Swensen is also highly critical of the Morningstar rating system, which only causes investors to chase hot performing funds and managers. He advises considering alternatives to the for-profit mutual fund industry, including Exchange Traded Funds and not-for-profit financial institutions such as Vanguard and TIAA-CREF. He highly recommends that as an individual, you should play a more active role in your financial future. This includes pe

As soon as the financial crisis erupted, the finger-pointingbegan. Should the blame fall on greedy traders, lazy regulators, orclueless home buyers? According to Bethany McLean, author of thebestselling Enron book "The Smartest Guys in the Room", and JoeNocera, the star "New York Times" columnist, the real answer is allof the above. Many devils helped bring hell to the economy. Yetdespite all the analysis of the crash, no one has put all thepieces together and named those responsible. Until now.

Regarded as one of the pioneers of modern investment theory, Philip A. Fisher's investment principles are studied and used by contemporary finance professionals including Warren Buffett.

First published in 1958, this investment classic is considered a must-read as the foundation for many of today's popular investment beliefs.

Many investors, including some with substantial portfolios, have only the sketchiest idea of how the stock market works. The reason, say Lynch and Rothchild, is that the basics of investing -- the fundamentals of our economic system and what they have to do with the stock market -- aren't taught in school. At a time when individuals have to make important decisions about saving for college and 401(k) retirement funds, this failure to provide a basic education in investing can have tragic consequences. For those who know what to look for, investment opportunities are everywhere. The average high-school student is familiar with Nike, Reebok, McDonald's, the Gap, and the Body Shop. Nearly every teenager in America drinks Coke or Pepsi, but only a very few own shares in either company or even understand how to buy them. Every student studies American history, but few realize that our country was settled by European colonists financed by public companies in England and Holland -- and the basic principles behi
