Security trader Peterson uses her decades of experience to explain jargon that is often impenetrable even to long-time investors. With over 1,000 terms in clear, everyday language organized by topic so you never have to flip through hundreds of pages to compare definitions, Peterson also provides cross-references and resources, including web sites. She covers market mechanics, the people involved, market forces, asset classes, analysis strategies and investment mechanics, with lists of acronyms and resources.
