Cloud and Townsend, clinical psychologists who are the Gold Medallion Award-winning authors of Boundaries, attempt in this book to chart personal growth from a biblical perspective. Rather than suggesting that real growth happens only to Christians, they argue that most effective therapeutic methods, even those that are ostensibly secular, use biblical concepts.

For those who have studied the work of this legendary figure, there is no doubt...Wyckoff was one of the greatest traders of all time.

He was one of the first people to recognise that patterns in price movement often repeat themselves. In making that discovery, he practically invented technical analysis. In fact, he was analysing markets and price movement even before charts were in regular use. Because Wyckoff was the first to study price in a structured technical way, he was not blinkered by the countless theories, counter-theories, and technical babble that can seem so confusing to anyone learning to trade now. And so his teaching of analysis can be thought of as being the most pure. He cuts right to the point.

Designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice, this successful book is regarded as "the bible" in trading rooms throughout the world. The books covers both derivatives markets and risk management, including credit risk and credit derivatives; forward, futures, and swaps; insurance, weather, and energy derivatives; and more. For options traders, options analysts, risk managers, swaps traders, financial engineers, and corporate treasurers.

The author has written a nice, lively elementary text on mathematical finance. This book can serve as a excellent launching point into the topic. Hull starts out with several chapters on the basics of the derivative contracts in his study. The contracts introduced are forward and futures contracts, interest rate swaps, and equity options. The basic definitions of each contingency contract is given, as well as characteristics of the markets where these contracts trade. Some basic trading strategies are also studied.

This is a fantastic book. For people who wants to learn about derivatives and finantial markets it helps a lot, a classical book on Derivatives. A must read for anyone that is interested in learning how derivatives work and how to price them. The author masters in explaning it a lot of examples, comprehensive language and a lot of exercises. So if you're interesting about finance, go get this book!

Technical analysis is a financial markets technique that claims the ability to forecast the future direction of security prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume. In its purest form, technical analysis considers only the actual price and volume behavior of the market or instrument, on the assumption that price and volume are the two most relevant factors in determining the future direction and behavior of a particular stock or market.
