Preface:
This book started with the intention of providing university finance
and economics students with a practical, real-world resource they
could use to learn about trading the financial markets. While structuring
the text, I had in mind the length and progression of a standard college
semester-long course. In fact, even before I started putting it all into
book format, the contents and presentation that follow were successfully
applied in a series of university level graduate and undergraduate financial
markets and managerial economics courses.
Anyone who has been through a finance curriculum knows that most
modern financial coursework is biased toward application in an institutional
environment. It does not provide much direct use to the individual
in terms of personal investment, risk management, and/or speculative efforts.
This text seeks to take a different approach, one that focuses more
directly on the individual, but with institutional carryover application of
use to those who are, or eventually will become, involved in decision making
at that level.
That all said, this book was written for anyone and everyone. While a
general knowledge of the financial markets is useful, it is not required.
Most of the students with whom I have worked over the past several years
had some knowledge of things like the stock market, but they were complete
novices to actually trading. For that reason, this book starts at the
very beginning, so that no reader—student or otherwise—is forced to play
catch-up.
