Description du produit

A rare look inside the world of hedge funds from one of this country's top investors
David Einhorn is one of the investment community's fastest rising stars. He founded his hedge fund, Greenlight Capital, at the age of 27, and now has more than $4 billion under management. In A Capital Offense, Einhorn offers readers insights into the battles surrounding hedge funds.
In 2002, Einhorn spoke publicly about Allied Capital-a leader in the private finance industry-presenting it as an excellent short opportunity. According to Einhorn and the Department of Agriculture, Allied was defrauding the Small Business Association of millions of taxpayer dollars and operating a ponzi scheme to prop up the company. This book will describe the incredible events that followed Einhorn's speech and how Allied and the investment community attacked him to protect the company-and its stock price. Informative and intriguing, A Capital Offense details how the current environment on Wall Street not only allows for such corporate malfeasance, but how it protects the companies and attacks those who attempt to uncover them. But, there is much more to this book. While the Allied story serves as the driving narrative-spanning a period of four years in the life of Greenlight Capital-wrapped around this narrative will be Einhorn's investing insights. In the end, readers will discover what it's like to be caught up in a major Wall Street battle while learning valuable investing lessons from a man that some call the next Warren Buffett.
David Einhorn (New York, NY) is the President and cofounder of Greenlight Capital, which started with $1 million under management in 1996. Today, it has about $4 billion under management and is a leading fund in the industry. Einhorn began his career at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette as a generalist in the Investment Banking Group. After DL&J, Einhorn joined Siegler, Collery & Co., a buyout and investment management firm, as an investment associate.
