False Security: The Betrayal Of The American Investor

By Bernard J. Reis

Book Overview

""False Security: The Betrayal Of The American Investor"" is a book written by Bernard J. Reis that explores the ways in which the American investor has been betrayed by the financial industry. The book takes a critical look at the practices of Wall Street and the government agencies that are supposed to regulate them, arguing that investors have been left vulnerable to fraud and manipulation.Reis argues that the financial industry has created a false sense of security for investors, leading them to believe that their investments are safe and secure when in reality they are not. He examines the various financial scandals that have rocked the industry in recent years, including the Enron scandal and the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme, and shows how these events have eroded investor confidence.The book also looks at the role of government agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in regulating the industry. Reis argues that these agencies have failed to adequately protect investors, and that their cozy relationships with the industry they are supposed to regulate have led to a lack of accountability.Overall, ""False Security"" is a call to action for investors to take control of their financial futures and demand greater transparency and accountability from the financial industry and the government agencies that are supposed to regulate it. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the risks and challenges facing American investors today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
