It is used by many financial institutions to train new operations employees. It has lots of worked examples and "how-to" information. The "meat" of the book covers: purchase & sales, margin, cashiering, accounting, stock record, dividends, proxy, etc. These topics are covered twice, once in an Overview section and then again in a Procedures section. Other sections cover underwriting, OTC markets, exchanges, the bank-brokerage firm relationship, etc. Anticipating that many readers will be new to finance, there is also extensive information on a variety of traded instruments such as: equities, commercial paper, asset-backeds, foreign exchange, options, mutual funds, etc. While the focus is US securities, there is a discussion of swaps and a brief chapter on international settlement covering major markets, Cedel, Euroclear and international bond interest calculations. <b>[Review based on the earlier second edition.]</b></p> </td> <td width="50%" valign="top" class="body"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%" id="table8"> <tr> <td width="100%" bgcolor="#333366"> <p class="header_yellow" align="center">Contents</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" class="explanatory_text"> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#CCCCFF" bgcolor="#CCCCFF" width="100%" id="table9"> <tr> <td class="contents_expanded"> <p class="contents_expanded">1.
