INTRODUCTION
Eyewitness to the Crisis
E very weekday I broadcast my show Closing Bell from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. The air inside the NYSE is electric. The pace can be frantic, especially as we approach the ringing of the closing bell at 4:00 p.m. As I watch the traders hunched over their terminals and listen to the dull roar of their voices in the background, I feel a sense of awe. I am standing at the apex of the worlds financial system. Everything that happens on the Big Board has consequences for billions of people, and I get to witness it all.
I realized long ago that what takes place at the NYSE is more about humans than about numbers. I know many peoples eyes glaze over when they think about the financial system. It feels so abstract and unwieldy. The jargon alone is difficult to masterputs and calls, market makers, derivatives. But in the aftermath of the collapse of Wall Street that occurred in September 2008, people did understand that the value of their homes declined precipitously, that their retirement plans bled money, that their jobs were less secure, that their retail customers had disappeared, that business and home loans were no longer available. They saw that because of the actions of some of Americas largest financial firms, their own lives were much less stable and their dreams were on hold.
With these people in mind, I decided to write The Weekend That Changed Wall Street in the hope that I could bring an insiders perspective to what happened to those who were directly affected. In particular, those who work outside the financial industry are still demanding explanations. Theyre confused by the complexity of the financial system, and they want to understand what really happened. Many people have written about the financial collapse, but I believe the position Ive been fortunate to have allows me to speak as a true eyewitness, and to translate the complexities of the crisis for the average reader. In this book I will explore what happened behind closed doors and provide an intimate look at the personal stories of those involvedfrom the richest and most powerful to the average workers. Using my access to scores of the players (famous and not so famous), I will provide the inside story about what really happened during the weekend that changed the financial world I have covered for twenty years. I will show readers how each decision had a drastic impact on the financial system and the personal lives of those involved in it. In addition, throughout the book I will let the participants, observers, and people on the sidelines speak in their own voicesa running oral history of the crisis.
