Infos

The Practical Guide to Wall Street is an indispensable
resource for anyone who aspires to a front-office sales or trading
position on Wall Street and an essential desk reference for market
practitioners and those who interact with this exciting but widely
misunderstood industry. Written by an experienced trader in a
clear, conversational style and assuming no previous background in
finance, The Practical Guide to Wall Street provides a thorough
schooling in the core curriculum of the equity and equity
derivatives sales and trading business - exactly what you would
learn from sitting beside the traders at a tier-one Wall Street
investment bank (except that in practice, traders rarely have time
to provide such detailed explanations!) Topics covered include:

* Clear, detailed and intuitive explanations of all major
products, their function, pricing and risks (several of which are
unavailable anywhere else despite producing billions of dollars in
annual revenue for Wall St.)

* The layout of the trading floor, the roles and responsibilities
of the different sales and trading groups and how they interact to
service the client business

* An overview of the structure of the macro-economy and the
trader's perspective on the significance of economic data
releases and their impact on the financial markets

* A review of those concepts from fundamental valuation and
financial statement analysis of greatest relevance on the trading
floor (as opposed to abstract valuation models)

* Practical details of the structure and functioning of the
equity and derivative markets including translations of trader
jargon, Bloomberg tips, market conventions, liquidity and risk
considerations and much more...

This book provides the first comprehensive explanation of all
aspects of the functioning of the equities division, with
information, details and insights previously only available to
those who already worked on a trading floor. The availability of
this material in a format accessible to non-professionals
fundamentally changes the level of industry knowledge employers in
the financial services industry can expect of new hires.
