All That Bull: A Life With Wall Street

All That Bull follows an American, who starts as a stockbroker, through his entire career in three segments. It deals with the humor, the excitement, madness and politics of the American financial world. The book starts with the protagonist, Jake Bowen, being replaced, while a financial compliance officer, mid-way through his career and after having built a great compliance team of eight women. The next segment of the book is a flashback to his start in the financial world as a stockbroker with a major wire house in 1980, or twenty years earlier. He is one of the young Turks in his office with two other men and a woman. It is a young, intelligent, and humorous environment The last segment of the novel has Jake in his last job, at the end of his career, with a team of two in a modern-day financial planning firm on Park Avenue in New York City. It becomes Jake and his team against the counter-productive politics of the day and Russian money-launderers. The brains behind the money-laundering is an enigma while they endeavor to unravel the secrecy surrounding it. It is a commentary on our times with Jake and his team representing common sense and values as they maneuver the rough waters of political correctness to do their job and to protect the people whom they oversee. The novel is human and humorous and encapsulates a period of time in American finance which is anything but dull from the penny stock madness of the early eighties to the roaring bull markets just before the pandemic of 2020 struck.
