Wall Street is a funny business. All you have is your reputation. Taint it and someone else will fill your shoes. Longevity comes from maintaining that reputation.

Ask Jack Grubman, the All-Star telecom analyst from Salomon Smith Barney; uber-banker Frank Quattrone at CS First Boston; Morgan Stanley's Mary "Queen of the Net" Meeker; or Merrill Lynch's Henry Blodget.

Well, they probably won't tell you anything. But have I got some great stories for you.

Successful hedge fund manager Andy Kessler looks back on his years as an analyst on Wall Street and offers this cautionary tale of the intoxicating forces loose in the world of finance that overwhelmed sober analysis.

“A deliciously naughty new book. [Kessler] was right there, on the inside. Having made his fortune, he now seems to feel free to say what he wants about his former firms and colleagues. [It] will not particularly please them...it will interest the rest of us. I finished it in a gulp, perfectly astonished.” - Michael Lewis on Bloomberg News
“No fly or flower on the wall, Kessler was a major player on the field... but unlike most of the inebriated cast of rollicking tale, Kessler never lost his head or sense of proportion. He got on top, with his humor, writing flair, integrity, and portfolio intact. Wall Street Meat [is] the most riotous, insightful, poignant, gossipy, and gallivanting book on Wall Street ever written.” - George Gilder
“Wall Street Meat is a page-turner easily consumed in one New-York-to-San-Francisco plane ride. You’ll laugh so hard you’ll risk arrest by an Air Marshall.” - Rich Karlgaard, Forbes
“The most insightful and readable inside look at the world of finance since Michael Lewis’ Liar’s Poker. Rich in anecdote and told in a breezy self-effacing voice.” - Washington Post
“In Andy Kessler’s cheeky Wall Street Meat, we are seated in the front row of all the action, tension and chaos of the stock market during the internet meltdown.” - USA Today
