“Unhedged: A Killing in the Market” (2012)
UNHEDGED is a fast-paced thriller set in a seductive world of incredible wealth and insatiable greed, where no price is too high to pay for getting to and staying on top. Topical and all too realistic, the excitement builds from the very first page and doesn't release the reader from its grip until the very last. Who would you be willing to sacrifice and how much of your soul would you be willing to trade to become a billionaire? Legendary investor Vernon Albright is the founding partner of Parthenon Capital, a $20 billion hedge fund that counts among its investors some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful individuals. Albright, a billionaire himself, owes his success not just to investment acumen but also to his relationship with shadowy oilman Buck Hendricks. After an unauthorized trade goes horribly wrong, and fearful of having to swap his pinstripes for prison stripes, Albright cuts a deal with Hendricks that would make Faust blush. Hendricks is Parthenon's largest investor yet Jeremy Cranford, Albright's younger partner and moral antithesis, has never met him, only finding out about the financier by accident. Who is this person and why has Albright kept his existence a secret? Conflict, suspense and danger abound as Cranford delves deeper into the mystery. His concerns quickly become more than financial as he learns of threats against his loved ones, threats that come from multiple and unknown sources. Top selling author, hedge fund veteran and CNBC personality Stephen L. Weiss is just the right person to take you through the twists and turns of the gripping journey in UNHedged.
“The Big Win” (2012)
Weiss's second book, The Big Win: Learning from the Legends to Become a More Successful Investor, highlights financial successes, explaining how the world's most successful investors make a fortune and how you can do the same. As with the missteps Weiss profiled in his first book, the strategies used by these legendary investors are available to all, regardless of size or sophistication.
“The Billion Dollar Mistake” (2009)
The Billion Dollar Mistake is an up-close account of the career-defining mistakes that some of the world's most brilliant billionaire investors have made, and a revealing look at what we can learn from them. Drawing on author Stephen Weiss' twenty-two years experience at some of Wall Street's most prestigious firms, the core of this book is based upon original research and interviews with these legendary investors, who discuss the most significant trade or investment that went against them, the magnitude of the loss, its effect on their businesses-and on their personal lives. To some, these fascinating accounts will read like a novel; to others, it will be a treasured and unique investment guide. This intriguing book skillfully examines the causal relationship between the quirks of each investor's personality and the mistakes they have committed. Along the way, Weiss provides a series of compelling narrative accounts of the individuals' road to success, the particular mistakes they made, the character flaws that led to them, and the lessons learned. While some investors made errors of judgment, others made errors of perception.
