Not worth the money,
This review is from: The Interactive Guide to Swaps (CD-ROM)
I am embarassed to admit that I bought this product. It piqued my interest because of its so called 'interactivity'. I was very disappointed with the product. It is only a CD-ROM (only an installation instruction booklet comes with it). Furthermore, the interactivity seems limited to chapter 4-answer multiple choice quizes and animated chalk board drawings. The product as a whole is qualitative, as opposed to quanitative. While it may be useful to fresh-out-of-college trainees, anyone who has been around these products for any short period of time has nothing to gain by buying this product. You are better off purchasing Hull's latest edition of 'Options, Futures, and Other Derivative Products'. Not only does Hull have more information, but his book is only a third of the cost. Again I stress, very disappointed with this product, and if someone else had written a review before me, I would never had purchased it.
