High flyers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Unfortunately, these stories of quick, easy profit for minimal effort, were only too frequent in the 80's. Here in Australia,two major cases resulted in high flying players ending up in jail or in exile.Lara, Connie and Eddy are siblings in a small town but whose paths take a very different course after the death of their mother.Lara is perfectly happy to remain a small-town wife and to support her husband, a clever inventor without financial ambitions. Connie is determined to get to New York to improve her life and to try to find a rich husband, while Eddie, clever with figures and full of self confidence, sets out to conquer Wall St. Eddie succeeds brilliantly, becoming a multi millionaire in record time while Connie meets and marries the son of a socially well connected family. Eddie soon finds that millions aren't enough and plunges family and friends into the frightening gamble of the Stock Exchange. Connie quickly becomes used to having money and discards her first husband for an immensely wealthy financier, despite having no real feelings for him.This is a family saga set among the super rich where personal feelings are disregarded in the quest for more and more--a good read !
