Gary Stevenson went from a broke college student to making MILLIONS as Citibank’s most profitable trader within a few years–this book tells his wild story. 🤑 In college, Gary won a competition called “The Trading Game” that got him an internship at Citibank. From there he grinded out 10-16 hour days to get a full-time job and continued working like wild. It paid off and he made his first $1,000,000 within 3 years. 💰 The book shares Gary’s story about how he became the bank’s most profitable trader, the crazy life of a trader, how he closed $500+ million in deals, and why he quit. 🤯 If you enjoyed “The Wolf of Wall Street” or “Liar’s Poker”, you’ll like this book. 📖 PS: If you order from Barnes & Noble, use promo code “TRADINGGAME25” to get 25% off.
