Specificatii
New York Times BestsellerThe Buy Side, by former Galleon Group
trader Turney Duff, portrays an after-hours Wall Street culture
where drugs and sex are rampant and billions in trading commissions
flow to those who dangle the most enticements. A remarkable writing
debut, filled with indelible moments, The Buy Side shows as no book
ever has the rewards - and dizzying temptations - of making a
living on the Street. Growing up in the 1980's Turney Duff was your
average kid from Kennebunk, Maine, eager to expand his horizons.
After trying - and failing - to land a job as a journalist, he
secured a trainee position at Morgan Stanley and got his first feel
for the pecking order that exists in the trading pits. Those on the
buy side, the traders who make large bets on whether a stock will
rise or fall, are the alphas and those on the sell side, the
brokers who handle their business, are eager to please. How eager
to please was brought home stunningly to Turney in 1999 when he
arrived at the Galleon Group, a colossal hedge-fund management firm
run by secretive founder Raj Rajaratnam. Finally in a position to
trade on his own, Turney was encouraged to socialize with the sell
side and siphon from his new broker friends as much information as
possible. Soon he was not just vacuuming up valuable tips but also
being lured into a variety of hedonistic pursuits. Naive enough to
believe he could keep up the lifestyle without paying a price, he
managed to keep an eye on his buy-and-sell charts and, meanwhile,
pondered the strange goings on at Galleon, where tens of millions
were being made each week in sometimes mysterious ways. At his next
positions, at Argus Partners and J.L. Berkowitz, Turney climbed to
even higher heights - and, as it turned out, plummeted to even
lower depths - as, by day, he solidified his reputation one of the
Street's most powerful healthcare traders, and by night, he blazed
a path through the city's nightclubs, showing off his social genius
and voraciously inhaling any drug that would fill the void he felt
inside. A mesmerizingly immersive journey through Wall Street's
first millennial decade, and a poignant self portrait by a young
man who surely would have destroyed himself were it not for his
decision to walk away from a seven-figure annual income, The Buy
Side is one of the best coming-of-age-on-the-Street books ever
written. From the Hardcover edition.
