Author: David Simpson
An 18-year veteran of the financial services arena who not only studied the industry from the inside (Prudential, The Mutual Fund Store and boutique broker-dealers), but who also brought his legal training ("recovering" attorney) and knowledge of history to bear on this topic of immense importance.
