Book du Jour: Once in Golconda

My financial book recommendation of the day goes to another in Wiley Investment Classic's series of book. This time it's Once in Golconda, a classic about life on Wall Street in the '20s and '30s, back in the time of short-selling syndicates and the like.

It is fun, and packed with parallels to today. A great read.
