Market Basics Set: An Introduction to Trading in the Financial Markets: Market Basics Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although I've been in the Financial Industry for many years, I've known that there are gaps in my knowledge, and this book helped to fill them.
I was looking for a step-by-step description of the Trading Process, and this book had what I was looking for (although I'll be waiting for the subsequent books in the set to provide more detail). I can now explain the difference between clearing and settlement.
I also liked the fact that it had clear definitions for terms such as 'Prime Broker' and 'Wholesalers' and had good diagrams that showed the relationship between the different components that make up the industry on both the buy and sell side.
I'd highly recommend this book as a good overview of the Financial Industry. My only minor complaint is that sometimes I felt that the diagrams tended to overwhelm the text.
