This is a basic book that may be good for new people in the market, but professionals will find this lacking.

This is a very introductory book for practitioners who do not know the very basics, such as 'models', 'regression', etc.
The content overlaps with the author's other text Bond Market Securities. Corresponding chapters are identical.
Better alternatives are Jarrow, Hull.

Because it covers most of the financial instruments that we are dealing on our trading floor, we have decided to offer it as a gift to all new recruits.
It is always difficult for new comers to quickly become knowledgeable about many financial instruments at the same time.

"Capital Market Instruments: Analysis and Valuation" provides all the necessary information to help them become real practitionners within a short time frame.

I would personnaly recommand this book.

It seems to me that I bought a CD not a book. The book could be throw it away. I?ll keep the CD. My rate is 2 stars.

This is a detailed, complex and focused guide to the analysis of financial market instruments. It is great for market professionals such as myself - I work in a hedge fund of funds team and its overview approach to all finance instruments, debt and equity, is great.

A good all-round book on bonds, equities, modelling and etc etc. Very good value for money. The CD-R in the back has a yield curve model and swap calculator which is a good teaching tool.
