How to Ride the Subway details lessons learned on investing and relationship-building from acclaimed CNBC contributor Jimmy Lebenthal.

Jimmy Lebenthal grew up in New York City in the '70s and '80s, a hardscrabble time for Gotham. As a youth, the city's extensive subway system drew his attention to a degree that can only be described as passionate. It was in those years that Jimmy first started investing in public equities. From the perspective of a seasoned subway rider, Jimmy shares his hard-fought wisdom in investing and building successful business relationships. Part how-to guide and part memoir, the whimsy, charm, and intelligence of Jimmy Lebenthal makes this book a must-listen for any investor.

He’s down to earth and refreshing

He speaks from a place of logical value investing. I changed my opinion on CNBC and the people they have on their show because I thought that Jim Kramer. Was what CNBC stood for, but he is the complete opposite. Fantastic book.

I’m also slightly obsessed with the New York subway and I live in Tennessee. I go to New York City with my wife, just arrived the subway.
