Lucky Stars
How lucky can I get? In the midst of a deep recession, a publisher caled me and asked if i could expand a 600-word column ont he Flash Crash and high-frequency trading into a book! Ijumped at teh chance. I've been trying to get a book published for years. A marathon of research and writing ensued. I had my day job too. My wife lived like a widow. Iwas locked in the den. Finally: "Crapshoot Investing: How Tech Savvy Traders and Clueless Regulators Turned the Stock marketinto a Casino." We are proffreading the final chapters. Galleys go out in February. The book hits the stores around March 24. the official launch is in April. Checjk it out at FT Press, or just Google McTague and Crapshoot Investing.
I love the book. I can read it now with a degree of clinical detachment. I do believe it will entertain, shock, and educate the public.

Dear Mr. McTague:
I've forwarded a copy of "Busting Up The Bureauopoly" To Sen Pat Toomey.
GREAT ideas in it.

Dear Mr. McTague:
EMMA at Senator Toomey's office is the contact person. I described your article on the phone to her and they requested I fax it to them. I did.
Hope he puts your ideas to work.
