Rare 1st Ed. “LEG THE SPREAD” CARI LYNN JACKET Stock Market Commodities Trading

Description: In the tradition of Liar's Poker, a smart, sassy, revealing look at the women who run with the bulls and make it big in the testosterone-drenched, high-stakes world of commodities—or futures-trading The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (known in the financial world as "the Merc") is the busiest futures exchange in the world: a hair-raising, high-pressure den of iniquity with enough yelling, bullying, and mayhem to rattle even the toughest of hardball commodities traders. And if you're a woman, the Merc can be the seventh circle of hell, given the sexual harassment, verbal vulgarity, and blatant condescension that come with the turf. But that fact hasn't stopped a handful of talented and determined women from crashing the frat party of the Merc and making millions while they re at it. Based on author Cari Lynn's firsthand experiences as a clerk on the Merc, Leg the Spread celebrates the hard-hitting, resourceful women who are making it big in the financial arena— outwitting and outearning their male counterparts-regardless of the alleged glass ceiling. From Natalie, who bares her midriff and records her trades with a pink pom-pom pen but is known to throw a punch when necessary to stand her ground, to Bev, the backbone of the Merc, who hustles billions of dollars in contracts each day and whose sway over the market is so great that major players like Goldman Sachs refuse to trade if she's not in the pit, we meet gutsy female traders who embrace the adrenaline rush of fast-paced moneymaking-while proving their moxie daily in the midst of the ultimate boys club. Hip, entertaining, and eye-opening, Leg the Spread itself a term for safeguarding your position) is a fast-paced read packed with jaw-dropping stories of bad behavior, good instincts, breathtaking greed, heroic courage-and the sawy, unstoppable women who are revolutionizing the market. CARI LYNN was a clerk on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange for over two years and has written feature stories for numerous publications, including Good Housekeeping, Chicago magazine, the Chicago Tribune, Health, and The Washingtonian.
