Out of the Box is part memoir and part investment strategy guide. Throughout his career, author Mark Grant has often taken a contrarian view. Rather than working on Wall Street or at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, he's spent his time elsewhere on Main Street. He's very critical of all the "noise" in the markets which he feels leads investors to make poor choices in their holdings. He offers important rules perserving capital and making long-term profits.
Mark J. Grant is Managing Director of the Corporate Syndicate Department for a publicly traded investment bank. In addition, he has run the capital markets departments and has been on the boards of four investment banks. He also served as the president of a public company in telecommunications and was on its board of directors.
