“ Janet Tavakoli has warned people about the risks in structured finance

Capitalist

Praise for the Second Edition
"Janet Tavakoli warned the world this disaster was coming
well in advance. Now she explains it again for those who
did not listen before as well as why it is not over yet.
You need to read this book to understand the biggest credit
bubble in world history."
Jim Rogers
Author of A Bull in China, Hot Commodities, Adventure Capitalist, and Investment
Biker
"Janet Tavakoli has been able to dissect with a brisk style the intricacies
of many structured products. Not only does she explain in a clear and insightful
manner how certain things work, but more important, why others DO NOT WORK!!!
Highly recommended and very much needed."

Praise
for Dear Mr. Buffett
"Buffett,
Tavakoli Flag Ponzi Scheme Bigger than Madoffs" -
Bloomberg News
"The book’s real strength is the sub-plot that
emerges as Tavakoli tugs vigorously at the seemingly disparate
threads of the current financial crisis, naming names,
citing cases and leaving no schmuck — whether investment
bank, credit rating agency, monoline insurer, mortgage
brokers, regulators and their ilk — unspared.
Based on more than 20 years in the derivatives arena,
and having
served time at Salomon Bros, Bear Stearns and Goldman
Sachs, she knows that of what and who she speaks. Should
anyone
ever display the slightest interest in criminalizing
the criminals who led us down this path, a prosecutor
could
do worse than ordering up copies for the grand jury."
Greg Newton (1956-2009), Founder and Editor of MarHedge
"Tavakoli
has been railing against emperors wearing no clothes
in the credit derivatives markets forever. If
only people had listened."
Andrew Tobias
Author of The Only Investment Guide You Will Ever Need,
AndrewTobias.com
" Full
of anecdotes, details and character sketches that add depth...she
knows her stuff, has strong opinions
and turns a colourful quote."
Paul J. Davies - Financial Times
"Janet
Tavakoli writes about the exotic, abstract financial
instruments that helped
implode the U.S. financial
markets, and she writes in a clear, sprightly way. She
knows a lot, and translates it well. Contrasting the shenanigans
of recent years against the good analysis and common sense
of Warren Buffett is appropriate, and helps to illustrate
the levels of irrational behavior."
Adam Smith (George J.W. Goodman)
Author of The
Money Game and Supermoney

more appropriate.

other esoteric structured finance techniques, market participants—the
savvy as well as the novice—are exposed to a bewildering
array of new ideas, concepts and structures. Janet Tavakoli
has tackled these subjects in an outstanding mixture of exposition,
