Items related to The Armageddon Trade (Jim Evans)
Jim is the cockney boy wonder who can read stock charts like 50-foot road signs. His uncanny talent has taken him from tea boy to trading superstar. Is he a genius, or a fluke? He doesn't know. The mysterious Max Davas, emperor of trading, makes billions dealing U.S. Treasuries using more computing firepower than NASA—but now his models are telling him that something is about to go catastrophically wrong. The same trading system that has made him one of the richest and most powerful men in the world is telling him that in a year's time, gold will be at $0 an ounce, so will oil, so will Microsoft, and the dollar won't be trading at all. The Euro, the Pound, the Yen, sugar, wheat, coffee . . . all will fall down to zero. But are predictions fate? Or does the cockney kid hold the key to the Armageddon trade?

Review:
"A spellbinding look, by a market master, at what happens when professional money meets international terrorism." —Richard L. Hudson, author, The Misbehavior of Markets
"With uncanny accuracy, Chambers takes you into the mind of the young-gun bank traders. He's been there and done that himself. But disturbingly, he also takes you into the mind of the fanatical terrorist. Whoa!" —Paul Wilmott, author, Frequently Asked Questions in Quantitative Finance
"Captures the nature of the traders behind the foolishness and greed stalking the financial markets." —Daily Mail
