O knihe

Born in 1948, the son of an international oilman, David Davenport spent his childhood living in a remote jungle encampment on the island of Sumatra. This was a land of man-eating tigers and poisonous snakes. But it was also the site of Southeast Asia's biggest oil discovery ever, one that had, in fact, been the target of Japanese invaders during World War II.

Later, the family would relocate to North Africa, where other major oil discoveries were being made. While living in Libya, David would spend two years shuttling back and forth to school in Austria.

Then, it was on to college in the United States. It was the turbulent 1960s, the time of Vietnam and the American civil rights movement. It was also a time for acting up on college campuses, and David soon found himself on the wrong side of the law.

Footprints: An Autobiography details how, with the help of a wonderful wife, he recovered from his mistakes and went on to be a successful stock trader at three different major Wall Street firms. His successful approach to investing is clearly explained to anyone who would care to follow in his Footprints.
