Book Reviews of Mastering Financial Calculations: A step-by-step guide to the mathematics of financial market instruments (2nd Edition)
Book Review: The basis for all investmentand business decision making...
Summary: 5 Stars
Making investment decisions, whether it is to buy stock A vs. stock B, to allocate more money to stocks vs. bonds, or whether it is better to buy out a competitor vs. start up new operations from scratch, requires metrics that enable rational comparisons of the risks vs. the rewards.
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.
