A Bible for the Derivatives market
(Edinburgh, UK) May 18, 2002 - 5.0/5 stars
This is a comprehensive book that is easy to read both as a reference book
and as a learners guide to the derivatives market. It is an excellent
guide for stock-brokers, economists, mathematicians and anyone interested
in the derivative markets who possess a fair understanding of probability
theory and a basic knowledge of stochastic calculus. The book deals with
such issues of different types of options, portfolio hedging, options
pricing, stock market models (e.g.
Black-Scholes and Brownian motion) and
the various jargon and equations used in the option market. As other
readers have suggested much of the book may be beyond certain readers who
lack the mathematical background.
For those interested in the subject and
with a mathematical knowledge they should find this book succint,
comprehensive and accurate.
