Poetry redeemed?

This slender but iconoclasticly packed volume takes a clever and literary poke at the vagaries of the financial world. If you are an investor, you will find yourself herein, and the image may not be entirely to your liking! As compensation, you may also find your broker, perhaps in Elizabethan garb. This book is the perfect companion with which to enter the new financial order of 2001, irrespective of how much you lost. With this book flogging the street, who needs Peter Lynch?I gave a copy to my broker....and he hasn't shot me yet.

Silverstein breaks it down!

Cutting through the jargon and the hyperbole, Silverstein offers his jaundiced, cycnical, more-than-slightly-skewed and yet always, always, brilliantly funny take on *the Markets* with this collection!And after reading it, if you're bitten with the bug --as I was -- you can always try your hand at satirical verse on the wallstreetpoet.com Web site..:)

Who'd a thunk it

Finally, a way to keep market madness in perspective. Pontification with poetry. This is a unique work that deserves a wide audience for the fresh approach it brings to our current obsessions.

Song scale

I really enjoyed Michael Silverstein's "Songs of Wall Street." It's a very funny, very wise, very innovative way of looking at financial markets. On a scale of 1 to 5, I'd give it a 4+.

Ah, the poetry of moving averages . . .

I have never read a finer book of financial poetry. Or another book of financial poetry, for that matter. Who but Michael Silverstein could have envisioned Wall Street in the cadences of the world's greatest poets? Who else would have even tried? Who else would have succeeded? Michael Silverstein is the Gnossos Pappadopalous of things financial. Steal this book . . . or buy it with One Click right now.
