Book: Banking business knowledge for IT bods

[LegendsWear7]

I want to boost (errrm ... Start) my knowledge of how the City works. Background is pure IT but often in financials. I never really got to grips with how the places worked as I was focussed on tech.

It is high time I learnt this stuff, partly for my own satisfaction and partly to make myself more attractive to potential clients.

Know any good books that give a solid, practical overview ?

I found this from a Jobserve advert:
http://www.essvale.com/?q=node/1

Site looks kind of crappy but maybe the content is good. I have a feeling it is written by a contractor and maybe self-published. 50 notes !

Any recommendation ?

Buy low, sell high.

If anyone says "my word is my bond" take their bond.

If a trader talks about vega on a position, they probably mean they are vague about it. Or its to do with Las Vegas.

A good introduction would be ‘Bluff your way in Stocks and Shares’.

Currency Traders struggle with ‘Forex for dummies’, but most people find it easy.

Many people find ‘A young persons guide to credit derivatives’ to be a bit dated, but it contains some good stuff.

Now you're talking

Maybe posting a sincere question on a Friday afternoon wasn't a wise move
