Review

"A jargon-busting guide that aims to translate difficult financial terms into simple language...provides practical and accessible advice in a friendly and sometimes irreverent tone." Mortgage Advisor & Home Buyer, London "Bursting with clearly written need-to-know help on investment terms and financial jargon." What Mortgage "Covers everything from Analysts to Z-score and its truly comprehensive, providing easy-to-read descriptions of topics as diverse as 'parabolic system' and 'ten bagger'". Securities & Investment Review "A jargon-busting guide that aims to translate difficult financial terms into simple language...provides practical and accessible advice in a friendly and sometimes irreverent tone." Mortgage Advisor "Offers a crash course, allowing you to track your investments daily and have meaningful discussions with your financial advisors without getting bogged down in theory...Having this reference book close to hand helps cut through the hyperbole until terms like 'Bollinger band' and 'moving strike option' become second nature."
