This book attracted me when I notice the author ran the Asian Venture Capital Journal for fifteen years in Hongkong. With such a background, the author should be able to provide us in-depth coverage with the help from dozens of industry experts.
At the end... yes, the author did it. Since he had access to all of the top players in financial world, we have a lot of case studies and details discussion throughout the whole book. The author is very brave in this case. First of all, he needs to dig deep into the entire information gathered before expose it out to the public. Secondly, the author gathered the said info and provides his own forecast and prediction towards the future. Since this book was written many years ago (the subprime era), certain things may not be applicable to the current environment. However, it is certainly not out-dated. That tells the whole story.
Rating wise, I am going to rate this book at 7/10. This is actually an excellent book to read when it was published. But, since we are half way towards the end of 2017, the forecasting by the author may sounds not so interesting. After all, we more or less found the answer in the real world. Having said that, I have no hesitation to recommend this book. This is a well written book with deep insight on the world of finance.
