PRAISE FOR HIGH-FLYING ADVENTURES IN THE STOCK MARKET
A wonderful read-Baker takes you through a year in the life of a fund manager-it's so well conceived and written that you'll think you were there too. Individual investors who manage their own money should put this book in their 'portfolio.' Informative, educational, great fun. -Larry Waterhouse Jr., Chairman, TD Waterhouse Investor Services, Inc.

Most Americans know mutual funds only by their performance numbers. In High-Flying Adventures in the Stock Market, Molly Baker takes us inside the fund industry to give us a compelling and intimate look at the human drama of running a fund. -Douglas K. Sease, Editor, Wall Street Journal Books

Baker uses the eye for detail she acquired as a reporter for the Wall Street Journal to explain the high-pressure world of the money manager in laymen's terms. For those seeking a readable, inside account of the '90s historic stock market boom, this is a book to add to the portfolio. -Dana Milbank, staff writer, The Washington Post

Baker has provided an unusual perspective into the world of mutual fund management. She is a real reporter who is skilled in her understanding of what she describes and lively in her choice of episodes. The book is fun as well as informative. -Peter L. Bernstein, President, Peter L. Bernstein, Inc. author of Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk

A fantastic voyage through the mutual fund universe. Every investor should read this book. -Andrew Metrick, Assistant Professor of FinanceThe Wharton School, University of PennsylvaniaPrologue: Scaling Mountains.
