seen in the news and some that were never discovered, complete with

Jim Salim grew
up in 1950s Louisiana, son of a prudent father, a successful crop
duster and first generation Lebanese immigrant, who taught his son
to go slow in life. But Jim was a roadrunner and you cant
tell a roadrunner to go slow. From the moment he first saw a copy
of The Wall Street Journal in a trash can, when he was ten years
old, he has had a love affair with the markets.
From these modest
roots he made his first million by age 27. By age 29 he was broke.
He recovered, fine-tuning his trading skills, becoming a stalking
horse for some of Wall Street's legends, making and losing a couple
more fortunes along the way, and then, in 1998, losing the big one
to a couple of sharp investment bankers.
This book is
the story of his investing career, and that swindle.
Salim lives
in Dallas with his wife, MaryAnn, where he continues to actively
trade the markets.
