Would you buy from a stag or a stale bull? Does a blue chip company issue a naked debenture? From dawn raid to liquidity trap, from FOOTSIE to the Nikkei, this guide's comprehensive coverage of financial matters will make it an invaluable resource for anyone working in finance. Authoritative and up-to-date, it contains over 3,000 entries on every aspect of the financial world: banking, insurance, stocks and shares, commodities, takeovers and mergers, international trade, and government finance. The dictionary also provides international coverage of the world's most important financial centers, including New York, London, Frankfurt, London, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, and offers straightforward definitions of the latest financial jargon. The lucid entries and its in-depth coverage of personal finance--including investments, pensions, and taxes--also make A Dictionary of Finance ideal for investors, homeowners, students, and those generally interested in business and finance.
