Based on a true story, Jay and Stevy, retail investors, outsiders, battle the insiders, the wolves of Wall Street: The Market Makers, the smart money, the front running brokerage houses, lying Talking Heads, brazen stock manipulators. Against all odds, will they succeed? "This is the incredible story of precisely why human nature is the ultimate enemy of any investor desiring success. As the new millennium approached, the main character was drawn in by the biggest bull market in US history. The magnetic draw of the stock market was at a historic peak, yet in the twilight zone manner, our unsuspecting hero was drawn into the absolute worst time to be an unseasoned investor as the worst-performing decade for equity performance in US history was about to unfold right after he 'placed his bet'. The story takes you through his incredible journey through the minefield of the financial investment arena and provides a step-by-step horror show of how one man received a priceless education . . . At a remarkable cost."Garrett Jones-- 40+ year Money Manager/Trader. Affiliate with Peter Eliades (Stock Market Cycles Management, INC.)

Ever wonder what makes the market tick?

As you read this, five million Americans are day-trading. Not since gold was discovered in California have more people dropped out of their old lives and come running for the promise of a big score. For a time, Joey Anuff was among them. He has emerged-enriched, enlightened, and exhausted-to share his story. In a marriage of Anuff's own experiences with the brilliant investigative work of his Wired and Suck colleague Gary Wolf, Dumb Money explores and explains the world of day-trading as has never been done before. No strategy is too crackpot to try, no news break too dubious to play off, no so-called guru too shady, no online chat room too pathetic. Using the rhythms of a day trader's typical day as its frame, Dumb Money is a dispatch from the front lines of the stock-market revolution, a brutally Darwinian battleground on which some become wildly rich and more become part of the body count. It is essential reading for online investors, off-line investors, voyeurs, concerned citizens, and adrenaline freaks alike.
