Product Information
Praise for The Poker Face of Wall Street "Playing high-level poker, trading options, marketing bonds, and being a professor of finance--Aaron Brown has done them all." --Edward O. Thorp, author of Beat the Dealer: A Winning Strategy for the Game of Twenty-One and Beat the Market: A Scientific Stock Market System "The first attempt to help individual investors profit from a better understanding of the art of gambling. There may be few individuals better suited to take on such a controversial argument with such authority." --Stephen Schurr, Financial Times "Browns model is instantly graspable, but contrary to the conventional wisdom on both economics and gambling." --Publishers Weekly "The author provides investment professionals an immensely valuable benefit by challenging them to consider familiar issues from new angles. His book is not only entertaining, but also full of provocative ideas that merit lengthy and serious engagement." --Martin Fridson, Financial Analysts Journal "How to be a poker pro and much more . . . a delightful journey through risk concepts with a Wall Street derivatives trader. A great read and a good manual for understanding risk." --Dr. William T. Ziemba, University of British Columbia, Vancouver

Reviews
If you're looking for tips on becoming a better poker player, you've probably come to the wrong place. Brown does cover the game's basics and shares plenty of stories from his early card-playing days, which include Harvard games with the likes of Scott Turow. But he has much bigger stakes to discuss in this upbeat and entertaining guide. Drawing on his background at Morgan Stanley (where he's an executive director) and other financial institutions, Brown proposes that "finance can only be understood as a gambling game" and vice versa-- and though the material can be rough going for those without some investment training, he's very convincing once all the cards are laid out. In an extended historical example, Brown shows how the economy of colonial America was jump-started by the introduction of faro dealers into French Louisiana. He sees the current financial market as filled with similar wealth-generating potential and believes "taking risks just makes sense" in such an opportunity-rich climate. Poker, then, becomes a tool for learning how to evaluate and embrace financial risk. Brown's model is instantly graspable, but so contrary to the conventional wisdom on both economics and gambling that it may well spark debate. "(Apr.) ("Publishers Weekly, March 6, 2006), Named one of BusinessWeek's top 10 paperbacks for summer reading: " The Poker Face of Wall Street is a sprawling, idiosyncratic, and sometimes poker-obsessed work filled with nuggets about American history and finance.", ..."The intellectually challenging and highly entertaining ..."" actually helps serious-minded investors (and poker players) increase their odds of making money." ("Financial Times," March 2006) "Playing high-level poker, trading options, marketing bonds, and being a professor of finance-Aaron Brown has done them all. He shares with us the insights each of these has given him about the others and the lessons he's learned about life. From John Law to Fischer Black, I enjoyed the characters and the anecdotes."-- Edward O. Thorp, author of "Beat the Dealer: A Winning Strategy for the Game of Twenty-One" and "Beat the Market: A Scientific Stock Market System" "How to be a poker pro and much more . . . a delightful journey through risk concepts with a Wall Street derivatives trader. Brown uses poker concepts as a wonderful metaphor for investment and living life. His enthusiasm for grasping the brass ring of adventure while explaining the role of 'incalculable risk' draws one into the experience of the book. A great read and a good manual for understanding risk." -- Dr. William T. Ziemba, Alumni Professor of Financial Modeling and Stochastic Optimization Emeritus), Sauder School of Business, University of British Columbia, Vancouver "Make no mistake, this is a book about economic development as much as poker, and it tells how to win at both gambling games. Experienced poker players and economists will both look at the world with new eyes after hearing what Aaron Brown has to say."-- Perry Mehrling, Professor of Economics at Barnard College of Columbia University author of "Fischer Black and the Revolutionary Idea of Finance" ""The Poker Face of WallStreet" is packed with useful information about gambling, the life on Wall Street, poker culture, and some of the most interesting people involved in gambling. The book is a great mix of entertaining and nontraditional thinking."-- Espen Gaarder Haug, Trader, JPMorgan author of "The Complete Guide to Option Pricing Formulas"
