    Puzzles of Finance: Six Practical Problems and Their Remarkable Solutions

     
    Honing financial skills through brain-teasers and penetrating analysis of their inherent ideas
    7/10/2000
    Who would expect a book aimed at honing financial skills to be entertaining and witty too? But Kritzman, a prominent financial analyst in Boston and the author of The Portable Financial Analyst: What Practitioners Need to Know, has delivered a terrific collection of sophisticated brain-teasers as well as penetrating analysis of their inherent ideas. The six puzzles include "Why the Expected Return Is Not to Be Expected" and "Half the Stocks All the Time or All Stocks Half the Time." Financial professionals will probably gain the most from Puzzles of Finance, but executives from other fields who'd like a challenging introduction to finance should not be deterred. A helpful glossary and a primer on basic concepts and quantitative methods are included for easy reference.
