The Mind of Wall Street: A Legendary Financier on the Perils of Greed and the My | |
Leon Levy was a legendary investor, a founder of Oppenheimer Funds and the guiding force behind Oppenheimer as well as several other investment ventures. Now, with Wall Street stuck in a prolonged rut, it's appropriate to turn for insights to a man who predicted the current decline, and who managed to prosper in nearly every market of the past fifty years.
Levy explains why the market so often confounds us, and why those who ought to understand it often don't. It was Levy's avocations, psychology and archaeology, that led to his most perceptive and lasting insights into the market--many of his innovations and investment instruments are now familiar parts of the financial landscape--and in The Mind of Wall Street he recounts stories of his successes and failures to illustrate how investor psychology and willful self-deception so often play critical roles in whether money is gained or lost. Like his peers George Soros and Warren Buffet, Levy took a long and broad view of the rhythms of the markets and the economy. His thoughts are sometimes surprising, and his advice is always sound.
作者简介 Leon Levy began his career on Wall Street in 1948 and over the next five decades became a major figure in investment circles, helping to create Oppenheimer Mutual Funds (of which he remains chairman) and Odyssey Partners. He is also the president and founder of the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College and the president of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University. He lives in New York City. Eugene Linden is a contributor for Time magazine and the author of seven previous books, most recently, The Future in Plain Sight. He lives in Nyack, New York. Alan Abelson was the editor of Barron's from 1981-1993 and writes the weekly column, "Up and Down Wall Street." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Publishers Weekly
This well-written investment book delivers both adventure and financial insight, offering an intriguing theory that blends economic fundamentals with a keen understanding of the stock market''s many moods. Levy, a legendary Wall Street investor with more than 50 years of experience and the founder of Oppenheimer Funds, certainly has a firm intellectual grasp on the inner workings of the stock market, but also sees its psychological dynamic. He fleshes out this analysis of the markets and the economy from the 1950s to today with amusing and exciting financial stories. Early in his career, Levy piggybacked on corporate raids run by J. Paul Getty and Sy Scheuer. After helping to found Oppenheimer and later, Odyssey Partners, he had the capital to lead the way. He explains each investment story step-by-step, from initial research to acquiring positions and influence, fighting through defenses and counterattacks, and finally cashing out years later, usually-but not always-at a handsome profit. Interwoven throughout the financial dramas are character vignettes, autobiographical sketches, anecdotes and thoughtful digressions on Levy''s philanthropy, social theories and market theories.
