Bob Pisani is Senior Markets Correspondent for CNBC and has spent
the past 25 years on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. He
has been on the front line of finance for all the major events of
the last quarter century, including the Asian Financial Crisis, the
dot-com bubble and collapse, the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and the
Great Financial Crisis. What was it like to witness these events
firsthand, at the center of the financial world? In Shut Up and
Keep Talking, Bob tells a series of captivating stories that reveal
what he has learned about life and investing. These include
encounters with a host of stars, world leaders and CEOs, including
Fidel Castro, Robert Downey Jr., Walter Cronkite, Aretha Franklin,
Barry Manilow, Jack Ma, Joey Ramone, and many more. Along the way,
Bob describes how the investment world has changed, from brokers
shouting on the floor of the NYSE to fully electronic trading, from
investment sages and superstars picking stocks for exorbitant fees
to the phenomenal 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. Bob 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? Don't miss this highly entertaining and revealing
account of how financial markets have changed, and how they really
work, from someone who was there.
