Diary of a Very Bad Year: Confessions of an Anonymous Hedge Fund Manager by Anonymous Hedge Fund Manager

5.0

I was very surprised how much I enjoyed this book. The interviewer (a writer for a literary 'zine) asks some very insightful questions and makes a point of getting the hedge fund manager he's interviewing to clarify a number of terms of art that would otherwise have muddied the waters pretty badly.

HFM has some really insightful observations to make on the financial crisis - exactly what happened, why, and what we should be doing to fix it.

I definitely felt like I have a better sense of how the investment world works after reading this, and moreover it has further sparked my interest in learning more about investing.
