The Armageddon Trade: 0 - Brossura

Jim is the working-class boy wonder who can read stock charts like 50-foot road signs. His uncanny talent has taken him from errand boy to trading superstar. Whether he's a genius, or a fluke, he doesn't know. The mysterious Max Davas, emperor of trading, makes billions dealing U.S. Treasuries using more computing firepower than NASA—but now his models are telling him that something is about to go catastrophically wrong. The same trading system that has made him one of the richest and most powerful men in the world is telling him that in a year's time, gold will be worthless, so will oil, so will Microsoft, and the dollar won't be trading at all. The Euro, the Pound, the Yen, sugar, wheat, coffee . . . all will fall down to zero. But are predictions fate? Or does this cockney kid hold the key to the Armageddon trade?
