Customer Reviews
This book is great for people who are interested in improving their business decision making. It starts with the absolute basics--the time value of money, and builds upon that to develop models for bond valuation, interest rate forwards and swaps, futures, repurchases (repos), on up to foreign exchange and options pricing models.
If you are a fundamentalist, much of this won't be new to you. If you are technical analyst who develops quantitative trading models, this is essential information to have, as you will know what information fundamentalists consider important, and how it may impact the market you trade.
If you are a manager of some sort, and want to understand how to make decisions that add to your company's bottom line, this will provide a very good start.
