Description of How to Read the Financial Pages

An updated edition of the business bestseller written for the layman - which City firms buy as well. - What are stock markets, currency markets, commodities markets? How do they operate? - What are derivatives, and why is the financial world getting steamed up about them? Could they cause a financial system crash? - What is meant by insider dealing? Why is it illegal? - Who are the main players in the world of money? What do stock brokers, market makers, merchant bankers and underwriters do? - What sparked the boardroom pay and perks explosion? Are shareholders benefiting too? Stripping away the mystique from the world of investment and finance, How to Read the Financial Pages is a layman's guide to reading and understanding the financial press and the markets and events it covers. Assuming no financial knowledge, Michael Brett provides a valuable explanation of the workings of the financial world - from money markets to commodity markets, privatisation to takeover bids. With an extensive glossary of financial terms - what is a traded option, a leveraged buy out or a hedge fund? - this book will help you through the financial columns to a better comprehension of the language of markets and money. This new 5th edition is comprehensively revised and updated.
