Anyone read this yet? There are only two reviews on Amazon so far. One is negative and the other is obviously a shill (the same exact review is at BN.com).

I made it to the end only b/c the clock said 00:45 when I decided I'd had enough, but figured I'd made it this far... Agree completely with Graeme and FDAX. Banal. I don't watch financial news (at least not with the sound on), but the overly emotional, effeminate, wildly gesticulating retard in the middle did a nice job making the woman seem less banal. Based on her linkedin, I divine the following: parents have money, grew up privileged (CU for EE?? Couldn't leave Manhattan, friends still finishing last year at Dalton). MFE jobless. INSEAD MBA, again without job in past 4 year of graduate education. Vague job at large cie (that's Quebec Phrench, not Phrench Phranch) for less than two years (months omitted, surefire tactic to make 1 year look like two). Stat arb trader (kinda like how Chelsea is at Avenue b/c of the substantial p/l she ran for years, not because of who daddy is). That's my theory. I could be very wrong, or just mean.

Those who can't trade.... teach. (And those who can't teach... regulate).

@chiral: she's been a phd candidate for a while (probably where the months/years got rounded...)
