About the trader's way from the first account to a millionaire
Naming a hedge fund after a pool table? That might send the wrong message to investors. But when Maunis discovered that for the poet Milton and for the ancient Greeks the amaranth flower was a symbol of immortality, he no longer hesitated. Barbara Dreyfus
The book "Wall Street Rodeo" is about the collapse of the largest hedge fund, Amaranth Advisors LLC, which founder Nick Maunis predicted not just long life, but immortality. About how greed and vanity outweigh sensible endeavors and lead to a total fiasco.
