A Wall Street Legend Recounts His Fifty Years in the Stock Market, Hedge Funds, and Philanthropy Wall Street mogul Leon Cooperman provides a brilliant business memoir encompassing a quarter-century with Goldman Sachs and then the management of his own successful hedge fund, Omega Advisors.
Cooperman\'s narrative also includes meditations on taxes in general (and a wealth tax in particular) and challenges the thinking of political progressives who espouse policies which Cooperman believes would unduly restrain the free market..
Additionally, Cooperman makes an impassioned defense of capitalism as the best of all possible economic systems.
Along the way, Cooperman also spells out his philosophies and best practices for stock research and investment, rooted in the classic value-investing approach originated by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd.
Cooperman traces his life story From his roots as the son of immigrant parents in the Bronx through his days as an undergraduate at Hunter College, his subsequent graduate studies at the Columbia Business School, and beyond, all the way to his current role as a subscriber to Warren Buffet\'s Giving Pledge and a committed philanthropist engaged in giving away the entirety of his multi-billion-dollar fortune.
