The story of billionaire trader Steven Cohen, the rise and fall of his hedge fund SAC Capital, and the largest insider trading investigation in history for readers of The Big Short, Den of Thieves, and Dark Money
Steven A. Cohen changed Wall Street. He and his fellow pioneers of the hedge fund industry didn't lay railroads, build factories, or invent new technologies. Rather, they made their billions through speculation, by placing bets in the market that turned out to be right more often than wrong and for this, they gained not only extreme personal wealth but formidable influence throughout society. Hedge funds now oversee more than $3 trillion in assets, and the competition between them is so fierce that traders will do whatever they can to get an edge.
Cohen was one of the industry's biggest success stories, the person everyone else in the business wanted to be. Born into a middle-class family on Long Island, he longed from an early age to be a star on Wall Street. He mastered poker in high school, went off to Wharton, and in 1992 launched the hedge fund SAC Capital, which he built into a $15 billion empire, almost entirely on the basis of his wizard like stock trading. He cultivated an air of mystery, reclusiveness, and excess, building a 35,000-square-foot mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut, flying to work by helicopter, and amassing one of the largest private art collections in the world. On Wall Street, Cohen was revered as a genius: one of the greatest traders who ever lived.
That image was shattered when SAC Capital became the target of a sprawling, seven-year investigation, led by a determined group of FBI agents, prosecutors, and SEC enforcement attorneys. Labeled by prosecutors as a magnet for market cheaters whose culture encouraged the relentless pursuit of edge and even black edge, which is inside information SAC Capital was ultimately indicted and pleaded guilty to charges of securities and wire fraud in connection with a vast insider trading scheme, even as Cohen himself was never charged.
Black Edge offers a revelatory look at the gray zone in which so much of Wall Street functions. It's a riveting, true-life legal thriller that takes readers inside the government's pursuit of Cohen and his employees, and raises urgent and troubling questions about the power and wealth of those who sit at the pinnacle of modern Wall Street.

由《亿万》衍生出的对金融刑事犯罪的思考
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
本书的主角史蒂夫科恩,让我想起了徐翔。徐翔和史蒂夫科恩有着众多相似之处:早年都是天才型的股票交易员,依靠着短线操作交易横空出世,赚取了巨大的财富;管理的基金连续多年收益率异常之高;平日都是异常低调,神龙见首不见尾,公开媒体上很难找到他们的信息;都是游走在法... (展开)唐叔评20180715

比电影更扣人心弦的一本书 之前看电影亿万的时候就觉得超级震撼,对华尔街与对冲基金充满了好奇,买了英文版的原著,可惜自己英语不过关看不懂。这次翻译版的来了,特地买来去看的,爱不释手,像极了一本侦探小说! 现在生活在美国纽约的作者茜拉·科尔哈特卡,曾经是一位对冲... (展开)《亿万》——华尔街大白鲨的生存启示录
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
华尔街不仅仅是一个单纯的地理名词,它是美国资本市场和经济实力的象征。贪婪和疯狂弥漫在华尔街的每一个角落,它为很多人带来财富,又剥夺了许多人的财富。很多人不信任华尔街,又拼命想在其中抢占一席之地。这种双面性,使得华尔街更显神秘。幸运的是,《亿万》为我们拉开了... (展开)> 更多书评 13篇

感觉作者extensively expand了一个wikipedia词条,作为ex-SAC的junior显然非常shallow也不懂市场不懂老板做trade或投资逻辑。这本书毫无insight,想了解细节的真的看看wikipedia就好了

最appalling的大概是政府的不作为 这本书其实一篇长一点的ny times也够了。。。新信息比较少

作者只是sac的一个associate,跟steve cohen根本说不上什么话,结果就是书比较肤浅,只能描述一个结果,却无法解释Steve的想法,因为人家根本不会理他

1) one of the biggest thing that block people from being their best is fear. 2) 里根政府deregulation开启牛市 3)大熊冷静有机会 4) inside info trading的机制竟然那么单纯 5) Preet Bharara 令人惋惜

假期看的话还挺开心、写得挺完整的。但我觉得主要是我对这件事情一无所知,事件情节也的确比较饱和而因此产生的滤镜(本人但求一个完整的故事)。不过必须承认书里对于主要人物的真实想法一丁点提及也无,基本处于揣摩/假设阶段(就别提cohen本人了,连martoma也无);所以对于熟悉这个发展的读者来说并不知道是否有好看。
