FLASH: Tavakoli New Release

Hoh hoh hoh....

Janet has written a new book, The New Robber Barons, available in all the usual places.

Janet's release information says:

With Trillions On the Table Nobody Plays Fair, and Everyone Plays for Keeps.
The New Robber Barons continues financial expert Janet Tavakoli’s on-going chronicle of the global financial crisis captured in her articles from the September 2008 meltdown through February 2012. Picking up where her previous book, Dear Mr. Buffett, ended, she exposes the criminogenic environment that enabled international oligarchs to solidify power.
In January 2009, Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, told Tom Brokaw: “the idea that people that move money around are some favored class…strikes me as getting pretty far away from where we should be.” Two years later he publicly excused apparent insider trading by one of his successor candidates, David Sokol.
Berkshire Hathaway officer Charlie Munger admonished law students that Americans shouldn’t be "bitching about a little bailout."
Shortly before Congress confronted him with Goldman Sachs’s profiteering during the financial crisis, Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein quipped he was doing “God’s work.”
CEO Jamie Dimon told shareholders that he didn’t think JPMorgan made a mistake when it came to potential foreclosure fraud: “maybe we’ll have to pay penalties eventually to some of the attorneys general but we really think we should just continue.” Meanwhile the bank scoured 115,000 mortgage affidavits and reserved $1.3 billion for legal costs.
After MF Global’s October 31, 2011, bankruptcy a U.S. Congressman told former CEO Jon Corzine: "You've got thousands of hard working people around this country that feel cheated."
Tavakoli serves up example after stunning international example of no-strings-attached socialization of losses and privatization of gains. In the words of Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur: "I believe most of us would call that theft."
The New Robber Barons is a prequel to Tavakoli’s The Money Book coming via traditional mainstream publishing later this year. Janet Tavakoli’s fiction book, Archangels: Rise of the Jesuits, a financial thriller wherein the Jesuits usurp the Vatican’s financial power structure and take control of the church leadership, will be released in March 2012. It is a prequel to Vatican Gold, the Jesuit takeover of the global banking system.

Now here's the thing -- it's free today on the Kindle.

That's right, $0.00.

Just go to the Kindle Store and search for it, then "buy" it for $0.00.

If you miss it today, then buy it for real tomorrow. I've not yet read it, but there's nothing Janet has written that, in my experience, hasn't been worth reading.

Note: This title will also be free Tuesday, February 21st. If you missed it Saturday....

Truthseeker Posts: 8478 Incept: 2007-10-07 NorCal Online	Great gesture, Tickering this offer, Karl. JT has been one of the few no-nonsense financial observers that has been consistent, correct, and to the point on almost everything. I agree that her take on the big picture financial stuff is MUST READING. ---------- "...But people better realize that the worst-case scenario could actually happen.9/11 happened. This can happen.

Andyc Posts: 333 Incept: 2010-10-24 Banned	Irritaded True what irritated says, if you sign on to Amazon you can get a kindle for PC reader free and the book free too. I'd buy the book but I stopped buying investment books or subscribing to publications and such as the money adds up after awhile. It looks like a good book, I noted in the first chapter there's a section titled "Advice from Wall Street to Joran van der Sloot" So I'm thinking "yea I gotta read this book" : ) After reading the preface. I'd say this is a book to read when you can take the aggro....whenever I read about Corzines retarded MF Global trade I'm instantly annoyed! Who the heck would lever up 30 to 40 x to go long Euro Soveriegn over the last 3 years? Then on top of that he throws away his customers money when the "trade" doesn't get a bailout!! A bailout being the point of the whole trade in the first place.....a totally amateurish moral hazard trade and this guy does it and then has the nerve throws his customers funds away to satiate these vampires at JPM and the like. What a frigging idiot Corzine is. yet....Stentorian Tones...NO LAWS WERE BROKEN! Ooofah, I gotta stop or I'll be writing a book worths of bitter snark here. Along with mentioning how Corzine robbed his customers I think analysts should point out just how ludicrous Corzines so called "trade" was in the first place. Is there anyone here that has been reading Karls blog and several other blogs like this one over the last 3 years who would think "lets go long Euro debt at 30 to 40x leverage" is a good idea for a trade? Looks like a good book Last modified: 2012-02-19 13:52:52 by andyc 2012-02-19 13:06:43 Permalink

I believe you can have one out per month. Many libraries will allow you to borrow their books on Kindle - some you can borrow from home using the libraries web page. ---------- I have never wished to cater to the crowd; for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know. - Epicurus Oderint dum metuant - Caligula & Police State USA 2012-02-19 15:11:45 Permalink

Bozonian Posts: 19889 Incept: 2007-09-01 Saratoga Springs, New York	I rooted my Kind Fire and I have to admit, it's my favorite device now, even though I have an ipad2 and another full android tablet. The other devices are too large to hold with one hand, and so, impossible to use in certain situations. Shut up, I'm talking about the Subway. It also fits in a pocket if necessary. The screen is very high resolution, bright and clear. ---------- Forget about blaming, fighting with, or crediting other people.
