How to Understand the Financial Pages Summary

How to Understand the Financial Pages: A Guide to Money and the Jargon by Alexander Davidson

The only basic guide to the financial media that anyone will ever need. This new book provides comprehensive coverage of newspapers and magazines, and also financial websites, stockbrokers research and company reports. The handy A-Z format enables the reader to look up entries quickly. Essential terms and concepts are explained in non-technical English, and it is extensively cross-referenced. A valuable reference tool for any private investor, it is international in scope and includes references to the use of technical analysis in internet trading and the growth of financial services regulation and compliance - something other guides omit. Journalistic, snappy and stylish, it will help anyone to read the financial pages and gain a full understanding of the concepts involved.

How to Understand the Financial Pages Reviews

Mortgage Advisor & Home Buyer, London "Bursting with clearly written need-to-know help on investment terms and financial jargon." What Mortgage "Covers everything from Analysts to Z-score and its truly comprehensive, providing easy-to-read descriptions of topics as diverse as 'parabolic system' and 'ten bagger'". Securities & Investment Review "A jargon-busting guide that aims to translate difficult financial terms into simple language...provides practical and accessible advice in a friendly and sometimes irreverent tone." Mortgage Advisor "Offers a crash course, allowing you to track your investments daily and have meaningful discussions with your financial advisors without getting bogged down in theory...Having this reference book close to hand helps cut through the hyperbole until terms like 'Bollinger band' and 'moving strike option' become second nature." Business Edge "A welcome aid to translation... anything that helps us understand what the financial whiz-kids are up to with my cash is a good thing in my book." Birmingham Evening Mail
