Book Description
Guinness World Records recognizes him as the world's most syndicated puzzle compiler, but to his church congregation, he's better known as Elder Timothy E. Parker, assistant pastor. Parker merges these two fulfilling roles by offering more than 200 puzzles inspired by content from the Holy Bible's Old and New Testaments.
A thoughtful foreword by best-selling motivational author Bishop T. D. Jakes introduces a bevy of word puzzle formats, including crosswords, letter squares, verse decoders, scrambled verses, and word searches. Biblical facts are interspersed throughout themed chapters such as "Books of the Bible," "Saints and Sinners," "The Life of Jesus," and "God's Promises." An introductory chapter outlines solution techniques, while convenient answer keys complete the end of each chapter.

King James Game.......2007-03-13
This item was ordered for a friend. When the item was received, she was surprised to find that a section was not included. It was her understanding that an eraseable sheet for questions and answers were to be included with and/or inside the book. Apparently Timothy E. Parker appeared on one of the Christian T.V. shows, and indicated that an eraseable sheet used for questions and answers inside the book would be included with the purchase of the King James Games. She was disappointed to find out it was not included.

Book Description
The human brain is quite remarkable. Its intricate workings have been subjected to some of the greatest intellects of our times and despite this, we still know relatively little about how it actually works. However, there is one fact on which all experts in the field are in agreement: the brain benefits from regular exercise in much the same way as muscles do. In fact the brain not only benefits from this training--it thrives on it. What kind of exercise does the brain enjoy? Here the experts are again in agreement. Creative thinking, deductive reasoning and puzzle solving are all excellent areas for building up your mental muscle. 200 Word Puzzles gives your brain the opportunity for serious regular exercise. Word puzzles are excellent training for the brain as the alphabet can be as full of complexity and surprise as numbers. This varied selection of anagrams, cryptograms, novelty crosswords. and word circles will keep you entertained and your brain fit and healthy.

Very useful reference.......2007-08-31
Good reference for bond math and a great thing to have on any debt capital markets desk.. I use it very frequently.. its a classic ..
So far so good.......2007-08-03
Great purchase. The authors do a superb job of describing topics in basic terms then escalate to the nitty gritty number crunching behind the concepts. I recommend for anyone needing a complete guide to FI securities.
good overall reference.......2007-04-19
very good as a reference and general overview; if you want more detail and in-depth analysis you should look for something else but there's lots of specific lieterature out there so this still makes a good starting point
the default reference.......2007-01-06
this is the de facto desk reference for fi securities. it is thorough and well presented. if you are working with fi, you probably have it, if not, you should. also highly recommend the fixed income mathematics text as well.
nice overview of a wide range of topics.......2006-04-16
i give 4.5 stars.
many reviewers comment that this book lacks depth, but hey, it just tries to give a general overview on a variety of fixed income securities, that's what it is, and this book does reasonably well on this purpose. it never means to contain everything on every fixed income securities.
the only thing i am concerned is that the page numbers listed on the index sometimes do not match.

introduces the key ideas like Black-Sholes option modelling.......2006-06-06
Starting from scratch, assuming just a basic knowledge of calculus and the summation of series, Choudhry explains important ideas about how securities and derivatives are priced. Crucial concepts like how to model interest rates, and the various models that do exist for this purpose, are also gone into. This is built upon with the use of interest rate swaps, of varying complexity.
For options, there is the seminal Black-Scholes model. It is shown to be easy to understand, resting on the assumption of a Weiner process for the asset pricing. More elaborate option modelling is possible, and several of these are discussed.
Really good for newbie.......2005-12-31
By saying newbie, I mean at least you should know some basic terminology like duration, convexity, interest rake risk, etc. It's really for those who have some basic knowledge on fixed income securiteis and want to explore more in depth. I personally read some chapters from Fabozzi's handbook, and feel like it's not very technical oriented and I prefer this one.
Haven't finished reading yet, but so far, very comprehensive, concise and lucid.

Investing in Emerging Fixed Income Markets
ASIN: 1883249333 |
Book Description
The fixed income markets in emerging countries represent a new and potentially lucrative area of investment for investors. But along with the possibility of big returns, there is a much greater risk.

Featuring contributions from leading experts around the world, this book provides a comprehensive and authoritative guide to these exciting new markets.

Good review of old instruments, such as brady bonds.......2003-03-09
This book is a good history of what has happened in emerging markets financing until 1995. It deals in depth with the Brady bonds and their origins and valuation. It also gives an introduction to the methodology that was subsequently used in the Brady bond retirements. From this perspective, it is very useful.
However, there is very little in the sense of a concrete future of the financial environment around the world. It precedes the 1997 and 1998 crises, which makes the warnings in the book interesting if not useful. I wish the authors would update it to include more recent developments, which would make it much more readable and interesting. As it is, it is more history than finance.

Concise Coverrage of Bond Valuation.......2005-11-09
The author does a great job of covering the basics and bond trading and valuation in a concise and very readable format. There are many long winded books on fixed income that cover these topics exhaustively, but this is the book I find myself returning to when I need an accurate answer quickly.
Thanks Dragomir.......2004-02-05
Finding a single source which contains a clear explanation of all the bond conventions is very difficult. When you need this
book, you really need this book. Thanks Dragomir.

Dust off your Ph.d and Try to Decipher the Options Market.......2001-05-21
An executive I respect felt that this book by one of his old professors would give great insight to Foreign Currency Option Stategies. As more of a fundamental analyst than a technician I was mostly lost. I struggled through a master's and most of a doctorate, but statistics was always a pain. Beware that advanced mathematical underpinnings are crucial to the enjoyment of the book. For the amateur who wants to understand why rocket scientists (for real) are hired from Cal Poly and MIT to run Wall Street trading programs, we;;, just keep this book near your computer when you think your day trading will beat the pros.

ATTENTION!!!
I WANT ANSWERS TOO. I DON'T NEED SMOKE BLOWN IN MY FACE!!
Hello! I am the author of BondDiscovery and the Investors Protection Manual. I am, essentially, you. Just an ordinary John Dough looking for answers within a disheveled investment market. Frankly, the current business environment makes me sick, on top of the other circus acts being uncovered in our society. Ohhh, I'd love to chime in about other national events which seem to be snowballing monthly...political blunders, religious hypocrisies and the disgust of kidnapped children by deluded humans. Not to forget, the freaking fanatics here and abroad under the tutelage of the laden one. However, this stage is set for our investments and my bells are dinging and donging. My reading friends, I have walked away from life for two years to write these teaching manuals for both you and I. I will not blow smoke in your face. I look to gain income. You reap the benefit of my 18 years+ experience in the brokerage industry. My purpose in writing these manuals is to help you find your way in the bond market and reap its underestimated benefits, without being cheated. I give you my word, there are scores of obstacles, omissions and deceitful practices that will remain unknown to you without a personal investigation into the core of the fixed-income industry, its relationships and its product. BondDiscovery breaks through Wall Street's personal agenda and puts you in control of your hard earned dollars. Written for both the seasoned and novice investor, BondDiscovery extensively examines industry products, broker abuses, investor rights, investor resources and most importantly how to strategically purchase and benefit from bond investments in both the short and long term portfolio. The result: secure and self-tailored portfolios, confident choices, lower commissions and higher yields. Don't be sold an investment. Buy one knowledgeably.
Allow me to give you one tid-bit of information. Hear it! Investment literature provided by a brokerage firm is nothing more than a sales tool. Negative characteristics of investments are neatly downplayed, tucked away or presented in short form. At the same time, positive characteristics are outlined in an exuberant and extensive manner. This practice does not stop and the common brochure. The new investment literature, commonly known as the "analyst's report" is NOTHING BUT A SALES TOOL. Investment literature should be obtained from outside sources. Sources with no biased opinions. Sources without hidden agendas. Sources that will not follow up with a "Specialists" or "Advisors" phone call. Choose your educational literature wisely. Buy BondDiscovery now and receive the Investor's Protection Manual for free ($12.00 value).
