Fifteen Feet Beneath Manhattan by Michael Silverstein

A Dyspeptic's Guide To Contemporary American Politics (In Verse)

"Nowadays, you can't turn on the TV without some talking head telling you about the economy. Yet, in a world overrun by 'analysts,' only one man has the guts, the brains, and, quite frankly, the poetry to put it all in perspective.That man is Michael Silverstein... Silverstein is a true intellectual." — Gersh Kuntzman, The New York Post

"Few people have found much to laugh about in the stock market this year. Michael Silverstein is the exception. The Bard of the Bourse can find humor in losing money, globalization and stock options." — USA Today

Everything I Know About Wall Street I Learned From My Cat If you’re looking for a financial advisor who really knows how to get the best out of markets (and life generally), you need look no further than the furry friend who is currently napping in a sunspot on your bed. That’s the premise of this witty and wise new 72-page publication. Richly illustrated by Kay Wood, it contains chapters like: "It’s easier to be cute than to use a can opener," "All the best decisions are made after a long afternoon nap," "Hiss first and ask questions afterwards," "Cover your litter and move on," and "They’re only as good as your last can of tuna."
