Bob Pisani, a Senior Markets Correspondent for CNBC, has been on the front line of finance for over 25 years, witnessing major events such as the Asian Financial Crisis, the dot-com bubble and collapse, the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and the Great Financial Crisis. In his book Shut Up and Keep Talking, he shares captivating stories and insights from his experiences, including encounters with stars, world leaders, and CEOs. Bob describes how the investment world has transformed, from brokers shouting on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to fully electronic trading, from investment sages and superstars picking stocks for exorbitant fees to the rise of low-cost index funds that are saving investors millions, and from the belief that investors make rational decisions to the new age of behavioral finance, which recognizes the often-irrational nature of human decision making and seeks to understand its role in the stock market. He also considers what really moves stocks up and down and tackles the big questions: why is stock picking so hard, and why is the future so unknowable? This highly entertaining and revealing account of how financial markets have changed and how they really work is not to be missed.
