by R. Stafford Johnson (Author)
A practical, informative guide to derivatives in the real world
Derivatives
is an exposition on investments, guiding you from the basic concepts,
strategies, and fundamentals to a more detailed understanding of the
advanced strategies and models. As part of Bloomberg Financial's three
part series on securities, Derivatives focuses on derivative
securities and the functionality of the Bloomberg system with regards to
derivatives. You'll develop a tighter grasp of the more subtle
complexities involved in the evaluation, selection, and management of
derivatives, and gain the practical skillset necessary to apply your
knowledge to real-world investment situations using the tools and
techniques that dominate the industry. Instructions for using the
widespread Bloomberg system are interwoven throughout, allowing you to
directly apply the techniques and processes discussed using your own
data. You'll learn the many analytical functions used to evaluate
derivatives, and how these functions are applied within the context of
each investment topic covered. All Bloomberg information appears in
specified boxes embedded throughout the text, making it easy for you to
find it quickly when you need or, or easily skip it in favor of the
theory-based text.
