Finally! A humorous novel that tosses corruption onto the horns of the Wall Street bull. TRADING DREAMS slams the forces that hijacked the economy in a tale that is funny, thrilling and spiritual. Author J.L. Morin unveils the ironies of established Wall Street greed to the baseline of a grassroots Occupy movement.
This redemption story depicts the pitfalls of a new-hire at a bank. When her villain CFO sets her up as a scapegoat for 'robo-signing' mortgages with no paperwork, Jerry fights back... as if she didn't have enough to worry about running from a murderer.
For Jerry, New York in its heyday means hanging with the guys, finding nothing but users, and developing a sex addiction to assuage her loneliness and feel in control of men after the murder of her mother. When times are good on Wall Street, Jerry parties, sleeps around and is one of the guys. She would rather be married with kids, but can't find a stable man. She surmises, "If I could just be the bitch that he wanted, we could be happy together forever as masochist and dominatrix."
The economic crisis descends like a praying mantis devouring its mate at the moment of ecstasy. Not one to let homeowners down or push clients to invest in the stocks the bank is trying to dump, Jerry is convinced she can outsmart the machine. Her sex hunts evolve into friendships more liberating than romance, and with the help of Occupy Wall Street, she spreads the word through the human microphone. There's little prospect of finding another job when Jerry blows the whistle.
