CFA examination Wall Street Journal financial institutions investor investment concepts investment concepts investments market security markets asset allocation futures options derivative security markets Stocks Bonds gold silver commodites funds Even a cursory glance at The Wall Street Journal reveals a bewildering collection of securities, markets, and financial institutions. I used this book to help me prepare for the CFA examination. The book presents a wide spectrum of investment information in a easy to understand manner. The authors provide many examples to assist the reader in understanding many complicated investment concepts. I would say that this book is geared to someone already in the industry or for an individual that wishes to enter the industry or become a serious investor. I recommend this book highly without any reservations. Bodie/Kane/Marcus' book is the leading textbook in the graduate investments market. It is recognized as the best blend of practical and theoretical coverage, while maintaining an appropriate rigor and clear writing style. Its unifying theme is that security markets are nearly efficient, meaning that most securities are usually priced appropriately given their risk and return attributes. The text places greater emphasis on asset allocation, and offers a much broader and deeper treatment of futures, options, and other derivative security markets than most investment texts.

This volume presents the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Advanced Nuclear Systems Consuming Excess Plutonium, Moscow, Russia, 13-16 October 1996. This is a survey of current developments in the field of plutonium disposal by the application of advanced nuclear systems, both critical and subcritical. National research and development plans are also summarized. The actinide-fuelled critical reactors are associated with control problems, since they tend to have a small delayed neutron fraction coupled with a small Doppler effect and a positive void coefficient. Current thinking is turning to accelerator-driven subcritical systems for the transmutation of actinides. The volume draws the conclusion that the various systems proposed are technically feasible, even though not yet technically mature. The book presents a summary and evaluation of all relevant possibilities for burning surplus plutonium, presented by experts from a variety of different disciplines and interests, including the defence establishment. The obvious issue-the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons-is vital, but the matter represents a complex technological challenge that also requires an assessment in economic terms., Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1997, 3<
