Customer Reviews

super book, fun to read

Just entering the business from a EE background so I am reading this book to get down terminology and concepts before reading John C. Hull. At first "selling short" sounded like something shady.This book is written in a friendly, interesting style.Requires some math background (high school algebra) and basic knowledge of statistics (Gaussian distribution).I have been verifying all calculations. For the asking, I have written some programs to automate interest rate calculations and Black-Scholes (...).Next I'll write a program to do the work of 100000 stockbrokers in finding and executing arbitrage/reverse arbitrage opportunities.

Sound introduction to derivatives

An easy to understand text that establishes the fundamentals of financial derivatives such as futures, options, and swaps with an emphasis on risk management. Great for business students.
