An informational and agreeably diverting read-
By Tara Schuerman
"Out of the Box and onto Wall Street" is dissimilar from most finance related books. It is not only informational, but so initial and entertaining. It is the perfective blend of theory and personal stories over the last few years of tumultuous market times. I highly commend it and think it would make a great gift for any market follower!

Out of the Box and onto Wall Street
By Angela O'ffill
Mark approaches the financial markets with discipline, continuing or repeating behavior and consistency. His every day market commentary displays a cognition and understanding that only 38 years on Wall Street can, but his sense of humor is what makes his musings so original. This book is a "best of the best" of Mark's every day commentaries over the last few years and his foresight and interpretation of geopolitical and economic events is an invaluable, agreeably diverting and instructional read for any investor.

Thought Provoking & Entertaining
By Charles Thayer
This compilation of Mark's every day thought provoking observations for his clients is a "must read" for any capitalist (new and old) - experience is the best teacher and these are words from the 'battlefield' of international finance. Readers will distinctly gain from a market insiders view of government action and market reactions for the duration of the Great Recession.
