The Greatest Trades of All Time: Top Traders Making Big Profits from the Crash of 1929 to Today

Acknowledgments

There are so many people to thank in the process of writing this book that all of them can't be listed here. Writing a book is a challenging process. It requires extensive research and time commitments like no other task. So to all of you who stood by me while I wrote, I thank you.

First and foremost, I'd like to thank everyone at John Wiley & Sons for making this possible and for offering me the opportunity to write a book on a topic that I truly love. My editors, Kevin Commins, Meg Freeborn, Jennifer MacDonald, and Melissa Lopez were a huge help through the entire process, and I simply couldn't have finished this book without their support and guidance.

Next, I'd like to thank everyone in the financial community who gave me their opinions or helped me understand things I needed help with. To Kyle Bass and Jim Chanos: Thank you for taking time out of your days to let me interview you on your trades.

I would like to extend a special thanks to William Yeack, David Rucker, and Adam Jastrzebski at Golden Archer Investments. William proved to be an invaluable asset in helping me unravel the intricacies of the global financial markets from an insider's viewpoint. Based on the trajectory of his career, this young hedge fund manager will surely be included in a later edition of this book!
