By a former trader at the Galleon Group (the hedge fund at the center of history's largest insider-trading scandal), The Buy Side is Turney Duff's high-adrenaline journey through the trading underworld, as well as a searing look at an after-hours Wall Street culture where sex and drugs are the quid pro quo and a billion isn't enough.
Klappentext zu „The Buy Side “
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A former Galleon Group trader 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.

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 socialgenius 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.
