Andri:w Sarl.os is one of Canada's most daring financiers. At times his personal trading has accounted for more than 10 per cent of the Toronto Stock Exchange's daily volume. He has made and lost fortunes. His signature style is to pit his intellect and instinct against Bay Street's conventional wisdom.
In the 1970s, he was virtually unknown. By 1980, he had made investment profits of $40 million in just four years. He became known to investment insiders as the "Buddha of Bay Street," the man to call when you needed to know what was really happening.
In this frank and personal story, Andrew Sarlos reveals the secrets of his success and shares the details of his deals. He offers fascinating insights into why some investors make millions while others lose everything, and shares his wisdom and advice on playing the market.
(Continued from front flap) The world of big money is a small one, and Sarlos knows almost all Canada's movers and shakers. In Firetvorks, he offers revealing character sketches of men such as Paul Reichmann, film and theatre impresario Garth Drabinsky, investment banker Christopher Ondaatje, Ontario Hydro Chairman Maurice Strong, and many others.
He also reveals his own extraordinary story: how he grew up in Hungary before the Second World War, his experiences under Communism, his participation in the Hungarian revolution, his imprisonment during the Stalinist purges, and his emigration to Canada. This is the autobiography of a genuine Canadian original.
