easily comprehendible 4 Jan 2001

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

A novice in the world of finance, I found the guide clear and useful in its interpretation amidst the vast information found in the financial pages. The definitions, explanation on the various indices as well as financial jargon, has provided a useful insight into the workings of the financial world.

Lost in the financial jargon 5 Dec 2001

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

After a few pages I was at a total loss. The author kept mentioning all the jargon, saying that will examine this in more detail in chapter X. Another thing I noticed is that the advice on this book about what each index says is not very sound. For instance high P/E ratio says indicates a growth company and is worth investing. It then goes on to correct saying that it may also indicate that the share is overpriced. Confused? The only good thing about this book is that it covers many topics so you may find it useful.
