A Must-Have for anyone having something to do with finance........2007-10-07

Great Dictionary with all the financial/investment terms and abreviations.
The book has become my table-book.
Got confused with wording??? It just takes second to get the full definition.

A++++ RECOMEND!!!

Great reference material.......2007-09-10

This is the best reference for the securities industry. I am new to the industry but in a high level position. This is the book that our Complance officer is using to bring me up to speed on terminology and concepts. Better than a textbook. Just remember that it is basically a dictionary -NOT a textbook - so if you need a textbook I would suggest getting this as a supplement to it.

Great reference tool for your desk.......2007-07-13

I've been in banking for over 12 years and I still run into words and phrases that are sometimes unfamiliar to me. This book has been a handy tool on my desk--colleagues have come by to use it. If you work in banking or finance, or are a student majoring in similar fields, I would suggest that you make this essential to your portfolio of tools that you use.

Useful, small, light...........2007-05-13

It helped me on several occasions. There are, however, terms that are not defined, so I need to refer to the internet for those. Overall, a good deal....

COVERED GENERAL BUSINESS; NOT JUST FINANCE AND INVESTMENT.......2005-11-10

Despite being called "Dictionary of Finance and Investment Terms", this dictionary not only covered finance and investing, by cut across every aspect of general business. Its extensive coverage of management, accounting, marketing, advertising, and real estate makes it really unnecessary for anyone who already owns it to be bothering about acquiring any other business dictionary. Also, its encroaching expansion into computer and internet terms is both commendable and valuable.
All of its terms have been revised and simplified, using everyday language. And, a rare combination of quality and low price ensures that the demand for this dictionary will continue to dominate those of its rivals. Its 736 pages, which hold more than 5000 definitions remained astonishingly compact, authoritative, refined, and very concise. It is indeed a true hard-to-beat choice!

Book was in great condition and it was shipped promptly. I will do business again

teh dictionary is fantastic, really usefull, and really aplied to the busines concepts. congratulations

How am I going to figure out what "solutions" means?.......2004-09-17

I'm working on a satirical business dictionary (some samples are posted on my website). Consequently, I read this book cover-to-cover looking for fodder.

As I do have real business experience, I can say with some authority that this book is pretty thorough. It might be a tad heavy on the accounting lingo; but, unfortunately, that seems to be the way business is heading.

Hopefully Barron's next edition will include some of the new jargon we're hearing - like the ubiquitous "solutions," as well as "Enron," "Martha Stewart," and the surprisingly absent, "restarting earnings." Thankfully, "proactive" is included.

Why not five stars? Well, it is a dictionary of business terms.

Excellent Reference Resource.......2004-01-09

The "Dictionary of Business Terms" is an excellent reference for business people, educators, and students, alike. While it is relatively small, it provides concise, easy to understand definitions for some 7000 business terms.

Best of all, it can fit quite easily in your pocket. If you are in any way involved in business, this is a must have reference. I would say more, but, hey, it's not like a dictionary has a plot you can comment on.

FINE DESCRIPTIVE DEFINITIONS.......2003-02-13

Despite its small size, this well-structured dictionary did not stop at defining terms. It gave comprehensive descriptions (and explanations) whenever necessary. Its scope embraced all aspects of business: finance, management, commerce, accounting, and so on.
It is very portable and easy-to-use. Its 7,500 headwords included most terms which users are likely to encounter more often. All the important biz acronyms and jargons were included.
This is one dictionary that I will recommend for both students and business travellers. It is a reliable companion.

Book Description

Finally, a dictionary that unravels the insider jargon of investing and trading in wordsand pictureswe can all understand. In place of cryptic definitions that are often more intimidating than the words themselves, the Dictionary of Financial Terms provides truly helpful explanations of over 700 of the most commonly used, and most commonly misunderstood financial terms, using examples, illustrations, and complementary graphics to make the words meaningful as well as memorable.

Filled with helpful cross references that link related terms and concepts, the dictionary also lists the most important terms to know for online trading, investing in stocks and mutual funds, and analyzing investment performance. Special sections also clarify the differences between frequently confused terms: what is the difference between NASD, Nasdaq and OTC, anyway?

With dramatic changes in the financial markets occurring each day, it's getting more and more difficult to read the news, let alone the business sections of daily papers, without a handy guide to financial terms by your side.

Book Description

In the field of business, finance and economy, the English language has taken first place, even between people, institutions and countries whose respective native tongues are foreign to the English language. Spanish has become a very necessary language in different countries, thus, the combination of both languages provides an instrument of communication that is indispensable and unavoidable.

This dictionary takes into account the frequent difficulties which economists, financiers, interpreters and others may have, in fully understanding the scope of a given field, expressions or even words, that in the highly specialised jargon of economics have acquired very concise meanings. Intensive research into definitions in the extremely vast field of economics, finance and business, has produced a dictionary well designed to fulfill the needs of users of a two-language dictionary. Proper and very factual explanations and definitions are given for each word or group of words, thus making absolutely clear to professionals which term to use.

Customer Reviews:
