THIS BOOK GIVES YOU AN EDGE WHEN STUDYING FOR THE SERIES 7

I am currently studying for the Series 7 stockbroker exam. The study manual often introduces terms with little or no explanation. The glossary in the study manual only covers a small fraction of the terms used. Before buying this book, I would have to list the terms, stop studying, and find explanations. Sometimes, I would have to waste precious study time calling into my trainer to discuss these terms.
Now, I have all of the definitions I need right at my finger tips. This book has been a great supplement to the Series 7 study material. I no longer waste time struggling with terms I do not understand. I do not have to waste valuable time on hold calling into my trainer to get a better understanding of terms.
A good word for Wall Street Words

It has all the words, it has all the definitions...it's all here. I work for a Wall Street firm and this is one of the few investment reference guides I keep at my office. Buy it.

I have found Wall Street Words to be the most useful reference book on my desk. I need to refer to it all to frequently to sort out the unfamiliar words used in the newspaper and on TV business programs. It is inexpensive and helpful.

Wall Street Words, a reference book for the contemporary investor, affords a succinct, yet extensive explanation of the terms used in today's market. Author Dr. David L. Scott has directed his book toward the financial populace at all levels of expertise. The book is written practically, orderly, and aptly as it defines Wall Street's lingo. In addition, numerous financial tips contribute in-depth examples of many of the terms. I hightly recommend Wall Street Words as an excellent guide for A to Z investors!
