Confessions of a Former Wall Street Whiz Kid
“Confessions of a Former Wall Street Whiz Kid” is a thought-provoking, real-life story of the ups and downs and ups again of one of Wall Street’s “half-famous” financial geniuses, Peter Grandich. In this updated fourth and final edition of his witty and painfully-honest autobiography, Grandich shares his thoughts about the accumulation of wealth and the hidden flaws of traditional financial planning. He exposes some of the dirty business of Wall Street and takes readers on a journey through his battles against panic attacks, suicide attempts and depression, and he shares how his faith not only helped him regain the will to live, but acts as the foundation for his financial beliefs.

Ivory Tower Residents Do Not Live In The Real World

Retirement and Aging Crisis Is Here And Wall Street Fails Miserably In Sharing The Truth About It
