Today's Featured Review

CORPORATE FINANCE
by S Ross, R Westerfield, J Jaffe
TataMcGrawHill, 2009

Today's stock market is influenced greatly by technology driven companies, including those involved in basic research.  The influence of research in pharmaceuticals and life sciences is felt in the introduction of new medicines and drugs in the marketplace, along with huge profits from tightly-controlled, patented technologies.

The book "Corporate Finance" presents some of these key ideas and discusses some of the more abstruse areas like options, forward contracts, and selling and buying Futures.  The valuation of businesses by their parameters is also presented.  One needs to be familiar with other tools being used like the computer models for researching companies, some of which are now available publicly through Yahoo!

This book is recommended for improving ones knowledge of the world of Finance and How Things Work over there.
