Sommario/riassunto

Praise for TREYNOR ON INSTITUTIONAL INVESTING""Jack Treynor has a mind of his own. I mean that as the highest compliment. Jack Treynor sees what no one else sees, thinks what no one else thinks, explains what no one else explains. You will learn more in fifteen minutes with Jack Treynor than in a full hour with most pundits. You will work hard but you will see things, think things, and understand things as never before. This book is a most valuable treasure, gleaming with Jack Treynor's brilliance.""-Peter L. Bernstein, author, Capital Ideas Evolving""Vintage Treynor. This
