Tired of reading finance books that are light on detail? Then look no further. I noticed while thinking about this review that the dust jacket reads: "...even if you have no prior background in finance and accounting you'll quickly learn how to...understand and use financial derivatives...serve as a director of a corporation...take your company public." That's a pretty tall order. But then, it is 658 pages and published by Wiley (technical publisher). I think a more accurate statement would be: "If you have prior background in finance or accounting and want to brush up on ..." Unless your very smart, or can spend a lot of time reading and re-reading the material, I just don't think this book will make your ready to use financial derivatives, serve as a director of a corporation, or take your company public. I give it 4 stars, in part because of the awesome charts and graphs.
