Praise for Inside the House of Money
"Everyone loves to talk about hedge funds-except the people who actually run them. Until now. This book offers a unique and illuminating insight into a hitherto inaccessible and sometimes downright secretive world. And quite fascinating it proves to be. Future historians will thank Drobny for capturing the thinking that underlies a quiet financial revolution."
-Niall Ferguson, Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History, Harvard University and author of Colossus: The Rise and Fall of the American Empire
"We learn from these interviews of successful global macro investors that they share a style of thinking: they consider a strikingly broad list of factors influencing markets, they are exquisitely alert to nuances of timing and place in history, and, perhaps most fundamentally, they seem to think along broadly inductive rather than deductive lines."
-Prof. Robert J. Shiller, Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics International Center for Finance, Yale University and author of Irrational Exuberance
"Drobny's book will become the bible for those who want to understand the Byzantine minds of the world's top macro traders. It captures their brilliance as well as their many idiosyncrasies, and explains how they have made billions of dollars from the sanctity of small offices in New York and London. A great book about the rarest breed in the global markets-those who can consistently make money, almost out of thin air."
-Gavyn Davies, Chairman, Fulcrum Asset Management former chief economist, Goldman Sachs
"What a wonderful way to get into a macro trader's mind! I am so glad that this book exists. I will make my students read it."
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author, of Fooled by Randomness
"Drobny's book is not only fun reading but also offers unique insight into how financial market movers and shakers think and act. This is a definitive, must-read for any serious investor."
-Felix W. Zulauf, President, Zulauf Asset Management AG
Klappentext zu „Inside the House of Money “
Inside the House of Money lifts the veil on the typically opaque world of hedge funds, offering a rare glimpse at how today's highest paid money managers approach their craft. Author Steve Drobny demystifies how these star traders make billions for their well-heeled investors, revealing their theories, strategies, and approaches to markets. Whereas some still maintain that rationality permeates financial markets, Drobny captures a different dimension, showing how the unquantifiable human forces of emotion and intuition are also at play. Whether it be Russian bonds, Pakistani stocks, Southeast Asian currencies, or stakes in African brewing companies, no market or instrument is out of bounds for these elite global macro hedge fund managers. Highly accessible and filled with in-depth expert opinion, Inside the House of Money is a must-read for financial professionals and anyone else interested in understanding how greed, fear, and human emotion drive world markets.

Rezension zu „Inside the House of Money “
"The managers featured in Drobny's book use various strategies, as evidenced by the panoply of securities mentioned, from African stocks to Icelandic housing bonds. Drobny stresses the importance of diversification in picking global-macro managers, adding, "You can't rely on one man."....Other managers featured in Drobny's book include Peter Thiel, who runs Clarium Capital Management....Christian Siva-Jothy, former head of proprietary trading at Goldman Sachs, and Jim Leitner of Falcon Management. In the book, Leitner offers this advice to managers: "If you read about an oil discovery, start thinking about how to develop it into a trade. The idea is to do as much research as you can just reading and thinking about anything in the world before reaching out to your network."....The key to thriving in global macro? Plenty of smarts for starters. And "humility and flexibility," Drobny says. "You have to be flexible enough to cut your positions when what you firmly believe in is not working for you." This year, global macro managers did great in the January-April period, and didn't do great in May and June, when equities and emerging markets took a big hit.....even for sophisticated players in the global-macro game, it sometimes pays to just sit on the sidelines." - (Barron's)"It's a fantastic book, both in content and execution." - (Bloomberg News)"Steven Drobny has been able to do something that few others have, especially in the media: He got hedge fund managers to share their trade secrets." - (InstitutionalInvestor.com)"(Steven Drobny) uses this access to present a series of fascinating interviews with more than a dozen managers representing a broad spectrum of investment thinking." - (Financial Times)"a good start in understanding what the new global micro manager is all about." - (Lipper HedgeWorld)"Couldn't come at a more appropriate time...sheds more light than ever on the minds behind the largest global macro funds...reveals the intricacies of thinking like a

hedge fund manager." - (Forbes)"Drobny has a Rolodex that's the Wall Street equivalent of Wilt Chamberlain's little black book...he has used its power to help craft the absorbing Inside the House of Money. Think Market Wizards - only full of guys who aren't either dead or irrelevant." - (Trader Monthly)"For the investor, the trading strategies described in the interviews are chock-a-block with detail, and can serve as a starting point toward navigating hedge funds... more interesting are the stories of how these traders got where they are today... goes a long way toward enlightening those who aspire to enter." - (Financial World Magazine)"...eye opener..." - (NYSSA)"...must read..." - (Futures Magazine)"...engaging..." - (Active Trader)"written an intelligent analysis of the current hedge fund climate" (Pensions World, September 2006)"Corporate finance managers are taking the message of the book on board."
