Inside the House of Money: Top Hedge Fund Traders on Profiting in the Global Markets by Steven Drobny

New commentary and updates to enlightening interviews with today's top global macro hedge fund managers

This updated paperback edition of Inside the House of Money lifts the veil on the typically opaque world of hedge funds offering a rare glimpse at how today's highest paid money managers approach their craft. Now with new commentary, author, Steve Drobny takes you even further into the hedge fund industry. He demystifies how these star traders make billions for their well-heeled investors, revealing their theories, strategies and approaches to markets.

Whereas some still maintain that rationality permeates financial markets, Drobny captures a different dimension, showing how the unquantifiable human forces of emotion and intuition are also at play. Along the way, readers get an inside look at firsthand trading experiences through some of the major world financial crises of the last few decades.

  • Discusses how no market or instrument is out of bounds for these elite global macro hedge fund managers
  • Offers unique and illuminating insight into an inaccessible and sometimes downright secretive world
  • Written by respected industry expert Steven Drobny

Highly accessible and filled with in-depth expert opinion, this updated paperback edition of Inside the House of Money is a must-read for financial professionals and anyone else interested in understanding how greed, fear, and the human forces of emotion drive world markets.
