Dancing With The Analysts
In this first offering of financial thrillers, author David Mallach introduces Johnny Long, the man with the financial knowledge, the man who develops investment strategies and makes them available to the Everyman, the man who sees the true risks and rewards behind everything. From the outset, Johnny must make choices – hard choices – in a world of high-stakes investing and intrigue in which choosing wisely means a life of purpose and choosing poorly means unaccomplished dreams.
In this novel, Johnny shows that “money is nothing in itself.” Rather, it is what we do with wealth that brings meaning to a life well lived. Here begins the relationship as Johnny meets Austin Montgomery, a college student cut adrift and ill prepared for a world in which he has no family, no money, and no mentor. Together, Johnny and Austin accept a challenge in which they stand to win millions… or lose everything in the process. Failure is not an option; unfortunately, it is a distinct possibility. Together they must follow a path between temptation and virtue without knowing where they may eventually wind up. Dancing with the Analysts is sure to entertain as well as educate. Beginning investors receive a crash course in portfolio management intricately wrapped in a sophisticated story.

December 31, 2023This is the first fiction book I've read in a long time. My grandfather read the book and loved it so he gifted a copy to all of his grandchildren. The book is a financial thriller about a young man who inheriets a small fortune but must invest and grow the fortune by a certain amount in order to withdrawl the amount.

Perfect for both the rookie and seasoned investor, Mallach presents his investment strategy in a format that educates and entertains the reader. For those with little knowledge in investing, the author lays a great foundation of key investment concepts and provides insight on how to properly go about selecting an advisor. If you consider yourself a sophisticated investor, this book also serves as a good tool to reflect and evaluate your own strategy. This novel also changes the paradigm that most have on the world of finance. Showing how individuals in the wealth management business can use their skills for philanthropy, and to help their fellow human.
