The Joy of Money: A User-Friendly Guide to the Financial Maze 2007-07-11 07:23:00 Michelle Doughty(Kogan Page)Foreword by Shirley Conran: "None of us know enough about money. Many of us are confused about some financial matters. My recent blind spot was ‘hedging’, so I looked it up in The Joy of Money
, where it is covered in one, easy-to-read paragraph; if I wanted to know more detail, it referred me to the Derivatives – Options entry. Again, a model of condensation matched only by its clarity. This is why I keep Michelle Doughty’s A–Z money guide in my handiest bookshelf, next to Collins Dictionary and Thesaurus. In straightforward, jargon-free language, Michelle explains hundreds of terms from the basics of mortgages and pensions to how to handle HM Revenue & Customs. I am lucky enough to be a friend of Michelle, and from time to time she has given me instant, sensible guidance on my financial affairs. Having been a stockbroker and run a financial education organization, Michelle has plenty of hands-on experience. I hope that you, too, can profit fro Read more:Guide

Blackwell Encyclopedic Dictionary of Finance 2007-06-05 09:25:00 Edited by Dean Paxson & Douglas Wood (Blackwell Publishers Ltd) Preface "Although the basic purposes of finance, and the nature of the core instruments used in attaining them, are relatively constant, recent years have seen an explosion in complexity of both products and techniques. A number of forces are driving this explosion. The first is internationalization encompassing a dramatic growth in the number of countries with stock markets, convertible currencies and a positive regime for foreign investors. For a number of years the more adventurous institutional and private investors have been increasing the proportion of their investments in foreign markets in general and emerging markets in particular in search of growth, higher returns and better diversification. Reflecting this, finance has begun the long process of overhauling the traditionally domestic measurement of risk and return.
