This title tells the story of the trader John Paulson who predicted the economic crash in 2008 - and made the biggest windfall in history.



'The definitive account of a sensational trade' Michael Lewis, author of The Big Short

Autumn 2008. The world's finances collapse but one man makes a killing.

John Paulson, a softly spoken hedge-fund manager who still took the bus to work, seemed unlikely to stake his career on one big gamble. But he did - and The Greatest Trade Ever is the story of how he realised that the sub-prime housing bubble was going to burst, making $15 Billion for his fund and more than $4 Billion for himself in a single year. It's a tale of folly and wizardry, individual brilliance versus institutional stupidity.

John Paulson made the biggest winning bet in history. And this is how he did it.

    Goed geschreven verhaal, dat je meeneemt in de mensen achter de trade en je een interessant beeld geeft van de wereld van investeringsfondsen. Het neemt je me van begin tot het eind, laat de complexiteit zien en tevens de impact ervan op de mensen. Erg interessant.
