Dr. Rich Proffette of the Wharton School in 1999 discovers the Holy Grail of Wall Street: a breakthrough stock trading algorithm with an uncanny ability to predict stock price movements. His trading model, Market Equilibrium Shock Theory, is widely hailed as one of the great economic ciphers of the 20th century and has rewarded him with a vast fortune amid Wall Street's longest Bull Market rampage. It seems that stock traders everywhere from underworld hackers to global banks and the U.S. government want to seize the precious intellectual property of Rich Proffette. Everyone except the one true love of his life: the stunning, gifted, Wharton research assistant, Katherine North, who invented the model with him. She knows a dark secret that may cost him everything. "The Day Trader" brings you on a random walk down Market Street in the City of Brotherly Love. This comic novel immerses you in the exotic universe of day trading with a jaunt through virtual Wall Street, where investors drive relentlessly to become rich at the risk of their capital despite the odds against them.
