PRAISE FOR MARK
FADIMAN’S BOOKS
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”
PRAISE FOR JUNE KLEIN,
HEAD OF TECHNOLOGY & MARKETING VENTURES, INC.
“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.
