Sounds like a good read- lemme borrow it when you're done?

I love this:
...he concisely explains, in a sentence or two, why that stockbroker to whom you are paying a monthly fee often has no better idea of what is going to happen day to day than a dart-throwing chimpanzee.

Sounds kind of suspicious that his wife gets murdered just when he got insurance for her, had a windfall in the market, and she just decided to leave him. That's a triple motive.

I read Wolf of Wall Street last fall...hated it: not much trading stuff, but lots of drugs and excess.

Maybe the movie will be better...DiCaprio, Scorcese and the writer from "Sopranos."

this is for the audiobook, but there's a few reviews:

He had dinner with his lover that night, told her about his succession of losses and asked her if she would still love him if he lost everything. She looked deeply into his eyes, leaned across the table, kissed him on the ear and whispered, "I would still love you. And I would miss you."
