WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT “REBUILDING WALL STREET”
"Never was the time more ripe for a work such as
this one. Thanks to a brilliant plan, crisply executed, Mr. Fadiman has
captured the entire sweep of major innovation in the nation's financial
markets over the past 15 years — often in the words of the very people
responsible for the innovations. Sure to be valuable to a wide range of
readers from the merely curious, to committed students of the markets, to
market professionals and regulators alike." —Tim Metz, former reporter
and editor, The Wall Street Journal
WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT “MARKETSHOCK”
"Fadiman understands the financial technology,
regulations, and arbitrages driving the market today-and I'd love to keep
the information and the money to myself. Those who are interested in
working in the securities industry, stay away-1 don't need the
competition." —Bob Gordon, Founder, President, Twenty First Securities
"The financial industry of the
twenty-first century will be far different than that of the twentieth.
Those who do not take the time to understand these differences will be
operating under tremendous disadvantages. ‘MarketShock’ is an investment
primer for the twenty-first century." —From the Foreword by Paul
Gibson, former Forbes editor, author of “Bear Trap: Why Wall Street Doesn't
Work”
“June Klein's career has been an iconic example of
thought leadership about the future of the financial markets. Her work on
managing change, complexity and risk have become essential building blocks
to today's financial architecture. Anyone contemplating the future
competitive dynamics of the financial markets will find her insights
extraordinarily beneficial." —Denis A. Bovin, Vice Chairman,
Investment Banking Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.; Department of Defense
Boardmember
“I have known June Klein as a friend and as a fellow
Board member for a number of years and hold her in the highest esteem for
her high ethical standards, incisiveness, analytical problem solving
ability, visionary business thinking and appropriate tenacity. She is an
outstanding business leader; a team player who also has outstanding
technical and professional skills.” —Robert F. Wright, Audit Committee
Chairman, NYSE, Nasdaq and OTC firms
“Ms. Klein, a 2004 Ronald Reagan Gold Medal Award winner,
has served as one of our top Chairpersons of the Business Advisory Council
and displays a commitment for an entrepreneurial America. Ms. Klein, who was also
awarded Businesswoman of the Year for New York, has provided valued input on
business challenges such as creating and keeping jobs, the integrity of
Sarbanes-Oxley processes and improving capital formation.” —Congressman Tom
Reynolds, Chair, Congressional Committee
“A decade ago, June Klein launched a boardroom
management, regulatory branding and electronic application business. In
this book she introduces the next, inevitable chapter in the global money
business. Ms. Klein is definitely the best person to drive a 21st century
electronic smallcap marketplace into worldwide dominance.” —Ruth Stanat,
Author “Global Jumpstart”&“Global Gold”, CEO International Research
“This book is valuable because it brings together two
first-rate minds — Mark Fadiman and June Klein — to comment on the twin
trends driving the trading and intermediation around the world: regulation
and technology. Securities firms that recognize these trends and react
appropriately will be tomorrow’s winners. I hope that Mark and June’s
consulting assignments will lead to a “white-paper” study on the
feasibility of small-cap automation. Marrying exchange automation to
appropriate regulation would increase transparency, encourage capital
formation and create an incubator for small firms.” Fred Rittereiser,
former President, Instinet; Director Vianet, Inc.
"The Internet is
reconfiguring access to information, people, services and technologies,
such as by putting millions of computers virtually on one's desktop. The
boardrooms of strategic firms have long been at the leading edge of
developments in information and communication technologies, from slide
projectors to multi-point video conferencing. So perhaps it is not
surprising that electronic boardrooms are being reshaped by the Internet
enabling more people to know more about the board's decisions and
processes. Will this change move decision-making out of the boardroom, or
make their members more responsible and accountable for their actions? The
answer will not be determined by the technology alone. As June Klein’s book
makes clear, executives need to think more strategically about the use of
the Internet and related Information and Communication Technologies now and
in the years ahead.” - Professor William Dutton, Director Oxford Internet
Institute, University of Oxford, United Kingdom.
