About the Author

Although this is a work of fiction, the author knows the topic. J. Eliot Loeb began his short lived career as a stock broker with Stratton Oakmont Securities Inc., a firm described by the U. S. attorney as "perhaps the most infamous boiler room brokerage firm in recent memory." Having learned his life lessons the hard way, he now lives a very quiet life way out in the county, where he trades for his own accounts and is working on his next book.
