A rare look inside the world of activist hedge funds from
one of this country''s top investors In 2002, David Einhorn, the
President of Greenlight Capital, gave a speech at a charity
investment conference and was asked to share his best investment
idea. He described his reasons why Greenlight had sold short the
shares of Allied Capital, a leader in the private finance industry.
What followed was a firestorm of controversy. Allied responded with
a Washington, D.C. style spin-job-attacking Einhorn and
disseminating half-truths and outright lies. Undeterred by the
spin-job and lies, Greenlight continued its research after the
speech and discovered Allied''s behavior was far worse than Einhorn
ever suspected. "Fooling Some of the People All of the Time" is the
gripping chronicle of this saga, and this edition contains all new
updates from the author. Page by page, it delves deep inside Wall
Street, showing how the $6 billion hedge fund Greenlight Capital
conducts its investment research and detailing the maneuvers of an
unscrupulous company. Along the way, you''ll witness feckless
regulators, compromised politicians, and the barricades our capital
markets have erected against exposing misconduct from important
Wall Street customers. Goes behind the scenes to detail the truth
about investing, short selling, and the politics of business Shows
the failings of Wall Street: its investment banks, analysts,
journalists, and especially our government regulators Offers
insights into the battles surrounding hedge funds Reveals the
immense difficulties that prevent the government from sanctioning
politically connected companies At its most basic level, Allied
Capital is the story of Wall Street at its worst. But the story is
much bigger than one little-known company. "Fooling Some of the
People All of the Time "is an important call for effective law
enforcement, free speech, and fair play.
