I normally recommend The Complete Guide to Capital Markets for Quantitative Professionals by Alex Kuznetsov (despite the title you don't have to be a mathmo to read it, anyone with a technical mindset should be fine).
I'd avoid relying upon articles like this one though, from my experience they're frequently wrong.
I've been a developer on the leading equities analytics software, was lead developer on the worlds largest credit derivative trade settlement platform, and now work in currency trading. I don't have a huge in-depth knowledge in these areas, but I know enough that I can tell most of these articles are written by people who are completely clueless.
- jhancock 17y agoThanks for the book tip. Now, assuming this article is clueless. It is well written, but ok, lest say its factually inaccurate. Where is the article that is accessible and has enough facts right?
- jeromec 17y agoFWIW, I think this author is hitting around the nail, even if not on target, and his emotional style of writing can further bring his credibility into question. However, I wouldn't say the article is clueless or fictional, far from it. I found myself agreeing for the most part with another article from this author about economic bubbles and Goldman Sachs (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/28816321/the_great_american_bubble_machine/print http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/28816321/the_grea...) and I'm someone that both predicted and warned of our impending economic trouble as early as Nov '07 (provable screenshots). I recommend watching Money as Debt (5 part series so click at each end): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIIAvdJvCes&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIIAvdJvCes&NR=1
