Each week, BIV staff will share with you some of the interesting stories we have found from around the web.

My favourite CBNC correspondent has long been Bob Pisani for his concise, insightful and timely big-picture looks at what events and trends are moving markets. His new book is partly a history of the New York Stock Exchange, partly a memoir and partly a primer on how to invest. It has entertaining stories about people at the NYSE – longtime veterans and people such as Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, who played guitar during the opening bell ring when Warner Music Group went public. Well worth a read for anyone who closely follows markets. The book’s title comes from Pisani’s experience with producers telling him during his hits to either wrap it up quick, or to prolong his spiel. – Shut Up & Keep Talking: Lessons on Life and Investing from the Floor of the New York Stock Exchange
