Features: Charlie D helped me see the futures market from a completely new perspective, Fong said. People usually portray traders as a greedy, morally corrupt group of money-hungry individuals, some even worse. But Charlie D corrected people's prejudices with his noble character. In short, he is Buffett in the stock market and Soros in hedge funds. William Fong skillfully interweaves intimate, personal details with technical explanations, creating a compelling, vivid, and well-rounded portrait of Charles P. DiFranco, the mysterious figure behind the great icon Charlie D. Through this richly detailed biography, we can deeply appreciate the author's thorough analysis and exploration of the psychology of successful individuals. William Fong is an editor at Risk magazine, the world's leading publication on derivative financial instruments. He has been researching and describing the Chicago futures and options markets for 14 years. Recently, he has just completed a book on the 150-year history of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
