Fooling some of the people all of the time : a long short story

Fooling some of the people all of the time A long short story

David Einhorn

Book - 2008

In 2002, Einhorn spoke publicly about Allied Capital-- a leader in the private finance industry-- presenting it as an excellent short opportunity. Einhorn describes the incredible events that followed his speech and how Allied and the investment community attacked him to protect the company-- and its stock price. Informative and intriguing, "Fooling Some of the People All of the Time" details how the current environment on Wall Street-- and the world of hedge funds in particular-- not only allows for such behavior, but how it protects the companies and attacks those who attempt to uncover them.--From publisher's description.
