STREET SMARTS Adventures on the Road and in the Markets

Not your typical financial title, this book is part personal story and part market analysis, told in a rich tenor filled with feeling. Both the work itself and its narration style are unusual for business-related titles, but in this case they work to the advantage of listeners. Narrator Michael Bybee is an excellent choice for this rags-to-riches story of an American who makes history at Oxford University and shares his adventures freely, along with advice about global markets. Bybee moves easily between historical information about the stock market and accounts of Rogers's marriage. Bybee shares both story lines in a friendly, casual manner that keeps one listening even through the complicated details about hedge funds.
