Out of Aces? Fifty Steps to Financial Acuity

This book is to enlighten readers about investments, various institutions in modern finance, important financial instruments, and money itself. It tells how money has come about and how it is invested and about every factor associated with investments that influence all of us for good or ill. To readers who are curious about the mechanics of this financial world and mystified about inner workings of certain arcane financial transactions, a desire particularly sharpened by the recession, this book promises a good handle to demystify the whole alchemy.

Virendra Nath is an entrepreneur and investment banker. In his inaugural nonfiction work Fifty Steps to Financial Acuity, he beautifully epitomizes the entire world of money, finance, and investments in a remarkably quipping and easy-to-understand language. This book is as dazzling as it is extraordinarily timely. He started his career as a banker and followed into investment banking and fund management fields, enjoying a ringside view to the world of money, investments, and finance. This book is his bold endeavor to bring this story to the masses. He has an MBA from Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he received the Scholar Award for his outstanding academic performance, and he also holds an international business exchange diploma from University of Chicago-Graduate School of Business. He is a licensed investment professional in Hong Kong and is regulated as an asset manager and advisor on securities by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.
