A tale of two markets -- The dealmaker's toolbox -- Creating wealth--or what makes stocks rise -- Hunting grounds -- The cracks and crevices of investment wisdom -- When to sell -- On doing the wrong thing -- Small questions, big opportunities.

This book teaches concepts that are not well-appreciated or understood among lay investors--but are well known and appreciated among Wall Street insiders, dealmakers and certain enthusiasts. These ideas stand the test of time, reliably producing profits decade after decade. The greatest investors have a different approach to risk than most people. The author also examines the principles of wealth creation, and urges readers to take advantage of the full menu of options available to companies as they evaluate whether or not to buy a stock.--From publisher description.
