Summary: Capital Markets
Review: An extremely clearly written introduction to financial markets. I learned a lot. I recommend reading this before tackling something like John Hull's book on derivatives. It would be very useful for people joining an investment bank or for college/MBA students interested in finance.

Summary: Very Good Book on Capital Markets eBook format SUCKS!!!
Review: I'm referring to the eBook version of this book. Be careful when buying the eBook. It uses a special Adobe Reader that you have to download first. When I first tried it, it told me several times the downloaded file is corrupted. I finally manually saved the executable and ran it. It loaded but I have to sign in MSN .Net passport... total of four sign in's to different sites (amazon acct, yahoo passwd, ...) !@#$%. Finally after 1.5 hrs of trying this and that mostly spent on downloading adobe, it slowly loaded something which I guess is the ebook. Adobe opened it, I saw the title of the book and the table of contents. The rest of the book is unreadable. I tried printing. It will only let me print 17 bad pages and my printer icon for this ebook is GRAYED OUT FOREVER!!! I went to the adobe website and there is no information on printing hardcopies, apparently, the version I downloaded is ONLY capable of sending info to handheld devices. Since I don't have one of those nifty devices... !@#$ I wouldn't pay any money on eBooks if this is how they will structure the sell. It didn't use to be this way. It used to be priced $2.99 - $5.99 and you can open easily and print any part of the book. Since I didn't want to carry a heavy book due to back problems, I shelled out the money to try this. Never again!

Summary: One of the best introductions to this subject
Review: This book is one of the best introductions to an area that grows in complexity. It explains the various types of equities and how they are used. It covers the mathematical aspect of equities that even a non-mathematician would find absorbing, although and I hate to say this, mathematical purists would not find it rigourous enough. This book goes a long way to demystifying an increasingly important part of world finance. A good read for both investors and laymen alike.

Summary: Capital Markets
Review: This is an excellent comprehensive introduction to capital markets. It is very clearly written with a lot of practical examples and case studies. I particularly like the fact that the book covers a wide range of debt and equity cash and derivative products. It is less mathematical than a book like Hull and a very good complement to it.
