Leo Melamed new book For Crying Out Loud


Leo Melamed put out a new book, For Crying Out Loud, which reflects upon the past years since his 1996 book Escape to the Futures. It's a good supplement to catch up on his experiences as the Merc shifted strategies, personnel, and became the global leader in futures trading. What I was disappointed about is that only 109 pages is 'new' material while the remaining 225 pages are filled w/his speeches and notes of the past 13 years. The book isn't a must read for the average enthusiast but for recommended for those who want a detailed history of the CME.
