註釋Misfortune 200 is a humorous depiction of the inner workings of a rising Wall Street giant that achieved superior financial results and unsurpassed profitability for several decades. Wall Street will have a unique appreciation for the traders, salespersons, quants and financial jargon. Corporate America will relate to the meetings, protocols, acronyms and industry jargon. Everyone will laugh at Sebastian Nigel Paine's reality-based fictional account of Financial Geniuses Corporation--FGC.While working as an executive for one of the largest U.S. financial services companies, he collaborated with some of the sharpest business minds in the world. He also observed many bizarre personalities and humorous situations. They were so outlandish that he decided to write a book that condenses two decades of these experiences into a summary intended to keep you amused and dumbfounded. He chronicled hilarious events and the misfortune that befell FGC after it reached the top two hundred ranking for U.S. corporations--hence, the title of the book.FGC's primary goal was to increase the wealth of average Americans across the country. It successfully achieved that goal for decades. The firm that acquired FGC is a dominant force in the financial services industry, and has a proven track record of effectively balancing risk and reward. Even though he found humor in both firms, he has great respect for the way they were managed.FGC's rapid fall resulted from its inability to successfully strike the delicate balance between risk and reward leading up to the most significant disruption in the capital markets since the Great Depression. While this bizarre journey from Wall Street to Main Street was written with a light-hearted tone, it also explores the painful disruptions inflicted on FGC's workforce by its unfortunate demise.
