A readable and thorough introduction to fixed income markets,
By Gastellguts "G." (Riverside, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pricing Money: A Beginner's Guide to Money, Bonds, Futures and Swaps (Paperback)
Extremely readable. One could read this book in a single sitting and get a great jumpstart to an understanding of fixed income markets - the why and the how.Wiseman has an engaging style of writing which prevents the stifled yawns normally associated with reading this genre, and keeps one turning the pages... The book nicely covers the fundamental theory of why there exists a fixed income market, then turns to the players and discusses what they do, and finally covers some of the fundamental trading strategies and math employed to turn a buck. Nice one...

i could not put this book down,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pricing Money: A Beginner's Guide to Money, Bonds, Futures and Swaps (Paperback)
i found this book very well written. It provides detail and yet covers that what it says it does. I find that Wiseman explains concepts in a verystraight forward way. Although i had to pause to eat and think about some of the financial products discussed such as "par yields". I found I was able to understand the book. The book contains some of the trader jargon and a outline of the players involved in the market. I think that anyone who wants to something with securities or trading should read this, before/during/after an intership. As the english say "Wiseman" is the dogs ballocks!! get this book!

Simply Informative,

This review is from: Pricing Money: A Beginner's Guide to Money, Bonds, Futures and Swaps (Paperback)
I needed a primer on this topic and this book absolutely did the trick. It covers all of the basics without getting bogged down in academics (which most books tend to do). If you're just looking for the "who, what, why, hows" then this is a good choice.
