How is your book helping others?
Most investment books read like dry textbooks written by academics or institutional hype machines. Dead Cat Bounce bridges the gap between raw memoir and practical strategy, charting one man's personal and professional struggle across 30 years far from the Wall Street echo chamber. By pairing three decades of hard-earned career history with actionable mechanics—navigating the Tech Bubble, the 2008 Crash, COVID, and beyond—it shows readers what actually happens to capital in the wild. It isn't about theoretical models; it’s about surviving real market cycles. By sharing personal failures alongside major financial wins, the book helps everyday investors cut through jargon, avoid emotional decision-making, and apply battle-tested discipline to protect and grow their long-term wealth.
