Book Overview
1987, a cataclysmic year for many. How did the relatively newly established Eurobond market cope with its volatility and what were the day to day lives of the traders and brokers like? The City has always been cheek by jowl with the East End. Did the seemingly polar opposite worlds overlap?
This fictional account of a year in the Eurobond markets provides a humorous look at the real lives lived by market participants (and hangers on) during a year that saw one of the biggest Stock Market crashes for years, with a once in a generation hurricane thrown in for good measure. The degree to which decisions made were influenced by alcohol, ego or drugs is perhaps surprising to outsiders. The remuneration for the time was also eye watering. Judge for yourselves whether these "Galacticos" were really worth the money
