Ha–great timing. How often do you read a book about some arcane stock market definition, wondering if it’ll ever be useful, and then read about the very same thing in breaking news a week later? A key element of this book is about “selling short,” and, I’ll be danged if Goldman Sachs wasn’t accused of doing the very same thing as part of the mortgage meltdown the very next week after reading the book. But, never fear, this is just a small part of the plot. It’s definitely worth reading, and oh yes, there is some burning.
