Brief review: A humorous read for people engaged in financial markets; both as an investor or as an intermediary. The author decodes the terms and jargons used in the financial world in his own way using sarcasm which is close to reality.

Brief review: This is a book for investment advisors. It contains powerful lessons and proven strategies from successful advisors. It features select few advisors who reached a level of 1 million dollars or more in earning every year. How did they do it? What is the their mindset? What are the things they focus on? How do they market themselves and their products? How they manage their time? All this and much more is covered in this book. I would strongly recommend this book to each and every investment professional.
