About this listen

'The definitive account of a sensational trade' Michael Lewis, author of The Big Short

Autumn 2008. The world's finances collapse but one man makes a killing.

John Paulson, a softly spoken hedge-fund manager who still took the bus to work, seemed unlikely to stake his career on one big gamble. But he did - and The Greatest Trade Ever is the story of how he realised that the sub-prime housing bubble was going to burst, making $15 Billion for his fund and more than $4 Billion for himself in a single year. It's a tale of folly and wizardry, individual brilliance versus institutional stupidity.

John Paulson made the biggest winning bet in history. And this is how he did it.

'A great page-turner and a great illuminator of the market's crash' John Helyar, author of Barbarians at the Gate

Makes one itch to do well (something big) in their own lives. The underdogs can win, that gives you hope. Going against the grain of conventional wisdom and Expert participants would generally be a losing bet, but every once in a while if you really do your research, due diligence and have firm conviction and patience, you too can make mega gains in the Markets.

Inspiring
