Stripping away the mistique from the world of investment and finance, this book is a layman's guide to reading and understanding the financial press. It assumes no financial knowledge, and contains an extensive glossary of terms. Subjects covered include stockmarkets, commodity markets, privatization, takeovers, insider trading and the "big bang".
