Omni was a jewel among popular science magazines of its era (1978–1998). Science Digest, Science News, Scientific America, and Discover may have all been selling well to armchair scientists, but Omni masterfully blended cutting edge science news and science fiction, flashy graphic design, a touch of sex, and the images of a generation of artists completely free and unburdened by the disciplines of the masters. Created by the legendary Bob Guccione, better known for founding Penthouse than perhaps any of the other facets of his inspired career in business, art, and literature, Guccione handpicked the artists and illustrators that contributed to the Omni legacy—they in turn created works i...

Buy now to get the main key ideas from Michael Lewis's Flash Boys If you’re a small investor, the stock market is rigged against you, according to award-winning financial journalist Michael Lewis. In Flash Boys (2014), he tells how a group of former Wall Street employees turned iconoclasts figured out that the system was built for the benefit of market insiders, quit their high-paying jobs, and tried to build a fair and honest alternative. Lewis details how they all started working together, how it all connects to the surge of predatory high-frequency trading after the market crash of 2008, and how a former Goldman Sachs programmer became a scapegoat for it.
What is Transparency Market In economics, a market is transparent if much is known by many about: What products and services or capital assets are available, market depth, what price, and where. Transparency is important since it is one of the theoretical conditions required for a free market to be efficient. Price transparency can, however, lead to higher prices. For example, if it makes sellers reluctant to give steep discounts to certain buyers, or if it facilitates collusion, and price volatility is another concern. A high degree of market transparency can result in disintermediation due to the buyer's increased knowledge of supply pricing. How you will benefit (I) Insights, and validati...
Although he was a suburban husband and father, living a far different life than the “Wolf of Wall Street,” Michael Kimelman had a good run as the cofounder of a hedge fund. He had left a cushy yet suffocating job at a law firm to try his hand at the high-risk life of a proprietary trader — and he did pretty well for himself. But it all came crashing down in the wee hours of November 5, 2009, when the Feds came to his door—almost taking the door off its hinges. While his wife and children were sequestered to a bedroom, Kimelman was marched off in embarrassment in view of his neighbors and TV crews who had been alerted in advance. He was arrested as part of a huge insider trading case,...
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 By 2009, the line had a life of its own, and two thousand men were digging and boring the strange home it needed to survive. They were just happy for the work. #2 The speed at which trades can be made between two different exchanges is limited by the speed of light in fiber, which is about 12 milliseconds. However, the trading speed that is available between exchanges is much slower than that. #3 Spivey’s plan entailed digging a secret tunnel through the Alleghenies that would connect Chicago to New York. He wanted to cross the line that separated Wall Street traders from people who knew how to dig holes and lay fiber. #4 The construction of the fiber optic cable was a challenge, as the rock in Pennsylvania was hard limestone. It took a lot of work to dig through it.
