How to Understand the Financial Pages 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.

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."

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
