Book description
Praise for Foreign Exchange
"Tim Weithers starts by telling the reader that foreign exchange is
not difficult, just confusing, but Foreign Exchange: A Practical Guide
to the FX Markets proves that money is much more exciting than anything
it buys. This useful book is a whirlwind tour of the world's largest
market, and the tour guide is an expert storyteller, inserting numerous
fascinating insights and quirky facts throughout the book."
-John R. Taylor, Chairman, CEO and CIO, FX Concepts
"The book reflects the author's doctorate from the University of
Chicago, several years' experience as an economics professor, and, most
recently, a very successful decade as an executive at a huge
international bank. These fundamental ingredients are seasoned with bits
of wisdom and experience. What results is a very tasty intellectual stew."
-Professor Jack Clark Francis, PhD, Professor of Economics and Finance,
Bernard Baruch College
"In this book, Tim Weithers clearly explains a very complicated
subject. Foreign Exchange is full of jargon and conventions that make it
very hard for non-professionals to gain a good understanding. Weither's
book is a must for any student or professional who wants to learn the
secrets of FX."
-Niels O. Nygaard, Director of Financial Mathematics, The University of Chicago
"An excellent text for students and practitioners who want to
become acquainted with the arcane world of the foreign exchange market."
-David DeRosa, PhD, founder, DeRosa Research and Trading, Inc., and
Adjunct Professor of Finance, Yale School of Management
"Tim Weithers provides a superb introduction to the arcana of
foreign exchange markets. While primarily intended for practitioners,
the book would be a valuable introduction for students with some
knowledge of economics. The text is exceptionally clear with numeric
examples and exercises that reinforce concepts. Frequent references are
made to the economic theory behind the trading practices."
-John F. O'Connell, Professor of Economics, College of the Holy Cross
