Synopsis

Step into the fast-paced world of Wall Street and learn how trading, margins, and broker secrets shape market moves.

In The Work of Wall Street, Sereno S. Pratt offers a vivid look at the old mercantile streets turned into a high-stakes financial arena. This excerpt focuses on the broker’s office—the pulse of the exchange—where newcomers arrive, introductions are made, and the language of finance is learned in real time. You’ll see how orders are placed, how profits and risks are tallied, and how a single trade fits into a larger system of credit, margins, and daily headlines.

What you’ll experience
- A close-up view of the broker’s desk, the quotation boards, and the ticking of the market.
- Clear explanations of how orders are written, executed, and recorded, including margin practice.
- An inside look at the relationship between customers and brokers, and how trust and regulation shaped early trading.
- A grounded sense of market mechanics, from the movement of prices to the rules that governed speculation.

Ideal for readers of financial history and anyone curious about how the stock market operated in its formative era.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
