About this title

About the Author:

DAVID L. SCOTT is the author of more than two dozen books on finance and investing.

From Library Journal:

Scott has compiled a lexicon of investment words and terms from a variety of print and broadcast sources familiar to individual investors, which may explain the mix of common words such as "cheap," "buy," and "cash" with more esoteric words and phrases. He intermingles among the definitions "tips from experts," giving brief illustrations of related concepts. These tips are useful, but one needs to read the book page by page to discover them. Unfortunately, the cross-referencing is incomplete. Library collections are better served by John Downes and Jordan Elliot Goodman's Barron's Finance and Investment Handbook ( LJ 7/87). This is a marginal purchase. Joseph Barth, U.S. Military Academy Lib., West Point, N.Y.
