On a sticky summer morning at the end of the Eighties,
19-year-old Jason DeSena Trennert-a bright, unconnected
Georgetown undergrad with big dreams and an even bigger
power tie-set out for Wall Street. Mustering the perceived
panache of the bigwigs, he burst through the doors of
America's oldest financial firms. He was roundly rejected. And entirely undeterred. Trennert accepted a position as a cold-caller and charged
ahead with the blind zeal of inexperience, finding in the
process a genuine affinity for the customs and history of
his work. Clinging to his dream from humble beginnings in
financial sector Siberia-Morgan Stanley's Brooklyn
outpost-and enduring the villainization of a respectable
profession across two boom-bust cycles, he opened his own
boutique company, now one of the world's leading research firms. Part memoir, part love letter to an institution popularly
viewed as a necessary (or as just plain) evil, My Side of
the Street delivers the long-overdue defense of the
investment banking industry critiqued by Michael Lewis and
others, illuminating the ethical and decent majority who
take the subway, worry about mortgages, and keep the entire
enterprise on its feet. Introducing the general reader to
captains of finance, famous on The Street but invisible to
outsiders, Trennert lays on display the absurdity and
unbridled joy of big business-a comic tale of unlikely
success in America's most notorious industry.
