  Over his lifetime, Elvis Presley racked up more than 100 top forty hits, including 18 number one singles. One of the world's most iconic performers, the King of Rock ' n' Roll died at the age of 42 from a heart attack complicated by years of drug use. By the time she turned eighteen, shy talented Frances Gumm had shot to stardom as Judy Garland, playing Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. She would go on to make more memorable musicals like A Star Is Born but sadly at the age of 47, she died of a drug overdose.
  But imagine if the lives of these icons had not been cut short by drugs? Perhaps Elvis would have enjoyed yet another career resurgence and produced more memorable recordings. Would Judy have conquered her demons and made yet another triumphant return to film? These vividly imaginative "biographies" are thoughtful, honest, heartfelt— and entirely within the realm of possibility, as the authors engage in an intriguing exercise of " What if… ?"

  Life In The Pits - My Time as a...

  In 1989, Brad Schaeffer was working as an artist when his trader brother invited him to visit the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Schaeffer promptly quit his job and became a clerk in that most iconic arena of raw capitalism. During the next six years, Schaeffer rose from clerk to trader, making markets on Eurodollar options in Chicago and heating oil options in New York. In that time, jammed literally shoulder-to-shoulder, he screamed, flailed his arms, hurled expletives, and pushed and shoved his way through his day. 
   
   
   
  In Life in the Pits, Schaeffer recalls the uneasy camaraderie of working right next to fierce competitors, the sheer intensity of dealing in stacks of money changing hands with a simple scream or hand signal, and the hijinks, excesses, and collection of characters as colorful as the jackets they wore, giving the listener an intimate look into what life was like down in the financial mosh pits. 
   
   
   
  A worthy successor to Liar's Poker and Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, Life in the Pits offers nuggets of wisdom on what makes a successful trader and the rules all must follow to survive in such an unforgiving environment. Schaeffer's often hilarious, yet sometimes profound, reflections take us on his personal journey from penniless artist to moving millions of dollars' worth of commodities in the blink of an eye.
