Editorial Reviews

Marcial is a 20-year Wall Street veteran who has written Business Week`s "Inside Wall Street" column for the last 13 years. Given the explosive accusations he makes in this book, that column is ironically named. Marcial charges that "shady and semi-shady trading is part of the culture on Wall Street" and that "some of the most highly respected and intelligent men and women . . . trade in inside information." In a December 1994 cover story, Marcial's magazine documents the unexplained run-ups in stock prices and increased trading activity that preceded nearly a third of the major merger deals during the year. Marcial fleshes out those numbers with behind-the-scenes, close-up--though inevitably disguised--details of both questionable and plainly illegal investment activities. He also provides a historical accounting of insider trading and interviews Ivan Boesky for the first time since Boesky's prison release. This book is certain to get a lot of publicity in the business press, if only because its press agent has requested a media embargo until its release! David Rouse.
