Aus dem Klappentext

Managing securities in today's dynamic investment environment requires an understanding of an increasing number of markets, strategies, and methodologies. In response, many of today's most successful practitioners manage their securities and portfolios using a Bloomberg terminal. As part of Bloomberg Financial's three-part series on securities, Equity Markets and Portfolio Analysis focuses on the functionality of Bloomberg terminals with regard to stocks and stock portfolios.

The Bloomberg system is common on trading floors and is becoming increasingly common in university programs, and its understanding is essential for gaining a competitive advantage in the marketplace. This book is part two in the series, offering a complete guide to the basic concepts, strategies, and fundamentals of the Bloomberg system. It also includes a more detailed discussion of advanced strategies and models that can then be applied to investment analysis in the real world. Topics include: stocks and bonds, equity securities, portfolio evaluation and selection, capital assets, fundamental analysis, market and industrial analysis, and technical analysis.

Written to help professionals as well as MBA, MS, or undergraduate students, Equity Markets and Portfolio Analysis helps readers understand the complexities and subtleties involved in securities while also providing the necessary structure to apply that understanding to real-world investment decisions. The text is ideal for a one-semester investment course for students or as a training and instructional course for professionals. It can also be used as an effective reference for CFA preparation.
