Résumé
Puzzles of Finance takes on today's most persistently
challenging financial questions and, through clever
examples and just plain logic, helps you move beyond those
questions to arrive at a deeper understanding of finance
and the daily management of money. From Siegel's Paradox
("Is it possible to profit from asymmetry of exchange rate
changes'") to questions of option value ("Why is the value
of an option unaffected by the underlying asset's expected
return'"), Puzzles of Finance goes beyond vague theoretical
suppositions to supply practical, concrete solutions that
investors and money managers can benefit from every
day.
While the intellectually curious will be drawn to Puzzles
of Finance, it is the day-to-day finance professional who
will derive the most benefit from this remarkable book. In
clear, concise language with more than a touch of
humor-renowned author and financial professional Mark
Kritzman simplifies six of today's most perplexing
financial riddles. Along the way, he presents a finance
primer as practical as it is profound, as illuminating as
it is entertaining. Kritzman artfully explores the
relationship of such seemingly disparate fields as botany
and thermodynamics to options. These proofs propel Puzzles
of Finance forward with the pace of a novel. An
easy-to-understand. primer on financial concepts and
quantitative methods combined with a technical glossary
ensures that no concept is misunderstood.
The result is an unprecedented book that will change the
way you view finance and investing. When you invest your
time in reading Puzzles of Finance, you will uncover some
of the most probing and insightful lessons in financial
literature today.
