A half-century of Wall Street history as seen through the lives of its most illustrious family
This compelling new narrative from bestselling author John Rothchild tells the story of three generations of the legendary Davis family, who rank among the most successful investors in the history of the Street. With a novelist”s wit and eye for telling detail, Rothchild chronicles the financial escapades of this eccentric, pioneering clan, providing a vivid portrait of fifty years of Wall Street history along the way. Rothchild shadows the Davis family”s holdings through two lengthy bull markets, two savage and seven mild bear markets, one crash, and twenty-five corrections and, in the process, reveals the strategies behind the family”s uncanny ability to consistently beat the markets.
The Davis Dynasty begins in 1947, the year Shelby Davis quit his job as a state bureaucrat and, armed with $50,000 of his wife”s money, took the plunge into stock investing. By the time he died in 1994, he had multiplied his wife”s original stake 8,000 times! The story continues with his son, Shelby, who established one of the most successful funds of the past thirty years. The final characters in this enthralling family saga are grandsons Chris and Andrew. Both surrendered to the Davis family passion for investing and both went on to earn reputations as investment luminaries in their own right.

Bestsellerautor John Rothchild erzählt hier die Geschichte dreier Generationen der legendären Davis Familie, die zu den erfolgreichsten Anlegern in der Geschichte der Wall Street zählt. Geistreich und mit viel Liebe zum Detail präsentiert Rothchild eine Chronik der Finanzeskapaden des exzentrischen und eigensinnigen Davis Clans und enthüllt die Strategien, mit denen sie mit unheimlichem Geschick den Markt ständig übertrafen. Die Saga beginnt mit dem Großvater Shelby Cullom Davis, der hinging und aus 50.000 Dollar gleich 900 Millionen Dollar machte. Sein Sohn und seine beiden Enkel erbten seine Leidenschaft fürs Geldgeschäft ebenso wie seine fanatische und peinlich genaue Arbeitsmoral. Rothchild zeichnet hier ein sehr lebendiges Porträt von 50 Jahren schillernder Wall Street Geschichte. “The Davis Dynasty” – Dieses Buch befriedigt ihren Wissensdurst gleich dreifach, denn es bietet eine Übersicht über die Wall Street in der letzten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts, die Legende einer erfolgreichen Anlagephilosophie und die dramatische Schilderung des Schicksals einer der berühmtesten Familien Amerikas.
