Items related to Trading Dreams
J. L. Morin's humor unmasks the hypocrisy of life in New York in the days of bank failure and Occupy Wall Street. A new hire, Jerry teeters between acting like a trading floor cyborg and activism battling Wall Street corruption . . . as if she didn't have enough to worry about hiding from her dark past. For Jerry, New York in its heyday means hanging with the guys, finding nothing but users, and developing a sex addiction. Then the economic crisis descends like a praying mantis devouring its mate at the moment of ecstasy - and the bank sets her up. Not one to let homeowners down or push clients to invest in the stocks the bank is trying to dump, Jerry is convinced she can outsmart the machine. With the help of Occupy Wall Street, she spreads the word through the human microphone. There's little prospect of finding another job when Jerry blows the whistle . . .

From the Author:
EXCERPT: "What hypocrisy. Not democracy, democrisy. We all became temps after the rest of the world's liposuction of American debt. Real estate plummeted, banks foreclosed on the floorboards and people moved to Zuccotti Park."

J. L. Morin's humor unmasks hypocrisy and throws misogyny onto the horns of the Wall Street bull.
New-hire banker Jerry teeters between acting like a trading floor cyborg and activism, battling Wall Street corruption . . . as if she didn't have enough to worry about hiding from her dark past.
For Jerry, New York in its heyday means hanging with the guys, finding nothing but users, and developing a sex addiction. Then the economic crisis descends like a praying mantis ready to devour its mate at the moment of ecstasy -- and the bank sets her up.
Jerry is not one to let homeowners down or push clients to invest in the stocks the bank is trying to dump. Ripe for the Occupy Movement, she is determined to outsmart the machine and spreads the word through the human microphone.
There's little prospect of finding another job when Jerry blows the whistle . . .
