“Professor Estrada has written a summary of basic financial topics that should appeal to all levels of students and practitioners.  It is concise and readable, but still manages to address the key issues in finance in a manner that is both useful and insightful.  As a former academic and current practitioner of finance, I will use this book and recommend it to my colleagues.”
