The Buy Side is Turney Duff's high-adrenaline journey through the
trading underworld, as well as a searing look at an after-hours
Wall Street culture where sex and drugs are the quid pro quo and a
billion isn't enough. In the mid-2000's, Turney Duff was, to all
appearances, the very picture of American success. One of Wall
Street's hottest traders, he was a rising star with Raj
Rajaratnam's legendary Galleon Group before forging his own path.
What few knew was that the key to Turney's remarkable success
wasn't a super-genius IQ or family connections but rather a winning
personality - because the real money wasn't made on the trading
floor or behind a computer screen, but in whispered deals in the
city's most exclusive nightspots, surrounded by the best drugs and
hottest women. For Turney, this created a perilously seductive
cycle: the harder he partied, the more connected and successful he
became, which meant he could party even harder. In time, he became
a walking paradox, an addictive mess after hours, and King of the
Street from nine to five. Along the way, he learned some important
lessons about himself, and the too-wild-to-believe world of Wall
Street trading. In The Buy Side, the money is plentiful and the
after-hours indulgence even more so, which has proved to be a
bestselling and box office winning combination, as the success of
The Wolf of Wall Street attests. Fans of Martin Scorsese's film and
Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker and The Big Short will want to take a
walk on The Buy Side.
