Description of Charlie D |
Like a modern day Colossus, his larger-than-life presence loomed over the top step of the Treasury bond pit at the Chicago Board Of Trade. His unchallenged prowess in the pit earned him much more than financial rewards, for to see him in action was to witness a vertuoso working at the top of his form. In recognition, his admiring peers and colleagues affectionately dubbed him the 'Sultan of Scalp', after another legendary powerhouse, Babe Ruth.
Told with a style and flair equal to its unique subject, Charlie D. unfolds like a great detective story with the author in hot pursuit of his reluctant quarry. Deftly interweaving intimate, personal detail with technical explanation, William Falloon paints a richly detailed, compelling portrait of Charles DiFrancesca, the man behind the myth of Charlie D. What emerges from this expansive biography is a penetrating exploration of the psychology of success.

Reviews'Falloon's eloquent explication of the life of the legendary Charlie D. delivers a good read while exposing that most under-publicized commodity of them all - a mega-trader with a low public profile whose superhuman trading abilities were exceeded by only one thing - the extended reach of his heart and soul.'
Patrick H. Arbor, Chairman, CBOT.
