When you self-publish a finance book, you take on the huge risk that you’ll never get any mainstream exposure and your ego will be crushed by pathetic sales numbers that help you realize how irrelevant you really are. For even the worst finance books put out by major labels get big time reviews and usually sell a few thousand copies. Of course, with little risk, comes little reward.
I’ve always been willing to take great risks in all my endeavors, so following my ‘Forrest-Gumping My Way Through Life’ attitude, I rejected a pretty sweet deal from a major publisher and created my own publishing company, BullShip Press, LLC to publish my debut book ‘An American Hedge Fund: How I Made $2 Million as a Stock Operator & Created a Hedge Fund’
The name stems from what I think most people on Wall Street are full of and what I aim to cut through. Wall Street is enshrouded in a thick layer of BullShip so it won’t be easy, but, as always, I’m going to give it my all.Yesterday, I was rewarded with an incredible review from a reporter for the Dow Jones NewsWire who compared my book to ‘Catcher in the Rye’, ‘Reminiscences of a Stock Operator’ and Jim Cramer. It doesn’t get much better than that!
