Welcome
Welcome to the website for Teall, J: Financial Trading and Investing.
Financial Trading and Investing seeks to provide a broad overview to trading and investing, much as any standard investments text. However, the focus of this textbook is on trading, trading institutions, markets and the institutions that participate in, facilitate and regulate trading activities. The book is intended to serve as a primary textbook for a university course focusing on trading.
The textbook has a number of pedagogical features. First, each chapter provides exercises to which detailed solutions are offered at the end of the text. There are a number of appendices, both to chapters and at the end of the text that are intended to review basic mathematics, statistics and finance topics. Because terminology is often a hurdle for prospective traders without significant investments backgrounds, there is an extensive glossary in the back of the text.
This companion site offers access to a number of PowerPoint slides and Excel spreadsheets that should complement materials in the text. In addition, the site provides various readings and updates to the textbook. Click here to report an error in the text by email
