Paul Wilmott on Quantitative Finance is perfect for executives who want to sound knowledgeable about derivatives and is ideal for potential traders and students eager for information on the subject. The two-volume, 1000-page-plus work, which assumes no prior knowledge and consoles readers with the fact that only a few basic mathematics skills are required to understand the logic, is written deftly and with humour by an author who describes himself as having "competed in Ballroom Dancing at Oxford University and ... [been] voted best (joint) dancer in 1984". But make no mistake: there is some heavy-lifting involved as he talks readers through the mathematics of calculating option values.

Topics covered include: the famous Black-Scholes option pricing formula, different varieties of options (American, European, Bermudan, and Asian), early exercise of American options, an introduction to exotic and path-dependent options, the effects of dividends and various option strategies for making money-- such as bull and bear spreads, straddles and strangles, as well as butterflies and condors. If you are not involved in day-to-day option trading and don't plan to read every page, Quantitative Finance will make a handy reference--simple explanations of terms such as delta-hedging or implied volatility are offered throughout. On the other hand, for those who want to get into the option trading game, there are numerous snapshots of Bloomberg terminal screens to highlight the data available to practitioners.

Helpful hints are provided through speech boxes-essentially, cartoon portraits of Wilmott himself--pointing out the usefulness of the various sections. As an added incentive to working through the text, some of these drawings have scenes from famous movies in the background and, if you are able to guess them all correctly, he will award a prize--at his option, of course. --Bruce McWilliams

Pressestimmen

"A great achievement that fills a void for everyone who uses charts. Bulkowski has taken an intelligent and thoughtful approach to producing a practical guide to evaluating chart formations." -(Perry Kaufman, author of Trading Systems and Methods, 3rd Edition)
"Not since Edwards and Magee has someone put together so comprehensive an assemblage of market behavior expressed graphically. That you also get a solid statistical assessment of the results of these chart formations is an unexpected and invaluable bonus. No chartist should be without this book."-(John Sweeney, Interim Editor, Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities)
"Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns is a book I have wanted to see published for many years. It brings together the patterns found in many diverse charting methods and adds the valuable dimension of performance statistics, trading tactics, and behavioral characteristics of each pattern. It is a valuable contribution to existing literature on charting an

Just buy the Derivatives book 29. Juli 2000

Von Ein Kunde

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe

I was hoping for something more than the derivatives book. I was really disappointed. Not only it is mostly repeating the other book. It is even less detailed. I love Paul Wilmott's books.. However, this last one you can do without.. Just buy the derivatives the theory and practice book and you will be happy you did. I am sending this one back...I was really hoping for more Juice from Wilmott..

rather limited 26. Juli 2000

The theory of derivatives pricing is the observation by Black and Scholes that the randomness in the value of an option can be balanced by the randomness of the underlying stock. This leads to a partial differential equation for the price of the option known as the Black-Scholes equation. Following on from this, mathematical finance has developed into a burgeoning field. The PDE approach has however been largely superceded by the more advanced martingale-based risk-neutral evaluation approach.

This book is an extended edition of Wilmott's previous book Derivatives and suffers from similar defects. It is a good basic introduction to the PDE approach to pricing but is limited in scope and viewpoint. Trees, risk-neutral pricing and martingales barely rate a mention. Every problem is fitted into the PDE approach whether it makes sense or not.

If you want to spend a lot of money learning Wilmott's view on finance then this is the book for you. But if you want a good overview of modern financial techniques then save your pennies.

Wilmott did it again--another mother of all QF books 7. Juli 2000

Von M. Kim

After looking at my colleague's copy of this new fantastic, super-duper book, I had to get a copy. How does this guy write so well? Also, I like his approach of uncovering the mysteries of mathematics.

Often, QF papers are ridden with symbols that only a select people would understand. With Wilmott's book, anybody with college training in math and motivation can understand and internalize the concepts. I wish other academics follow his examples.
