It was the grand finale of the 20th century, and the dawn of a new era, a new profession and . . . a new motive for murder. “Dot-com” emerged as the money buzzword, and Internet companies commanded huge share price premiums, driving the stock market to record highs, week after week in a raging bull market that was unstoppable. Investors loved the dot-com story, and they bought it: hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, and boat!
The Internet revolution spawned a perfect storm when the development of the World Wide Web, and technology to buy and sell stocks instantaneously on personal computers converged with a superheated stock market. The Wall Street Journal compared it to Las Vegas calling it, “Casino Trading,” and Barron’s magazine labeled it a “Wild West” gambling environment.
This pervasive paradigm shift to Internet-based trading fueled greed and the consequential corollary, a fear psyche that was both addictive and delusional. The hyper frenzied, speculative atmosphere that emerged signaled the beginning of the end -- that could ultimately trigger the bursting of the dot-com bubble and the birth of a new breed of speculator: the day trader.
Day traders took unimaginable risks, betting huge sums of money, sometimes their entire life savings, based on fictitious insider information, wild tips, and misleading data across the Internet. Their stocks were pumped through wild gyrations, as rumors and emotions relentlessly changed the direction of trading. Usually they lost money, and frequently they lost a lot of money, sometimes resulting in bankruptcy.
And, when they thought that mismanagement by the chief executive officer of the company had caused their losses, their revenge turned personal. Reports of high-powered gun shootings and killings from bell towers on college campuses and downtown office buildings became front-page news when day traders lost money and suddenly went berserk.
------------------------------------------------------
Bradley Burke is on top of the world, as the song goes, ‘He did it his way.’ Bill Gates could have done no better.
The launch of his IPO for his Internet company: Webstar, was an overwhelming success, and he’s in love with the woman of his dreams. He had everything, but also he had three major problems: One, the woman of his dreams is married to his best friend, mentor and chairman of the board of directors. Two, there is a crazy assassin Day Trader killing CEOs of publicly held companies when their stock falls. Three, for no apparent reason Brad's Webstar stock suddenly crashes and he is in the cross hairs of the unknown.
Amid a maelstrom of success, romance, jealousy and murder, Brad is caught in a web of deceit and has no clue that the Green Shoe has dropped.
Brad's life is about to change forever. The question is, will Webstar survive and will he come through it alive? Brad isn't so sure, and others are determined that he won't.

Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.

El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
