Wall Street People
The first complete Who's Who in the history of the world's best-known financial street Charles D. Ellis and James R. Vertin have crafted a window on Wall Street that investors won't want to miss.

Vertin (Menlo Park, CA) was a principal of Alpine Counselors, a financial consulting firm.
