Why read it?
1 author picked Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love the way that Archer turns the dry ins and outs of the workings of the British stock market into an adventure tale. I can’t quite believe how many explanations of market activities he manages to describe and explain in the simplest, most easy to understand terms. All while keeping the action going.
I learned from Archer what short selling is, how Ponzi schemes work, the meaning of insider trading, and how pump and dump schemes are set up and executed. I also learned how flawed the British financial markets were until their reform. A fascinating, highly entertaining romp…
From Paddy's list on glimpse into the dark heart of the financial markets (without being bored to tears).
