"An Arbitrage Guide to Financial Markets is the first book to explicitly show the linkages of markets for equities, currencies, fixed income and commodities. Using a unique structural approach, it dissects all markets the same way: into spot, forward and contingent dimensions, bringing out the simplicity and the commonalities of all markets. The book shuns stochastic calculus in favor of cash flow details of arbitrage trades. All mathematics is simple, but there is a lot of it. The book reflects the relative value mentality of an institutional trader seeking profit from misalignments of various market segments." "The book is aimed at entrants into investment banking and dealing businesses, existing personnel in non-trading jobs, and people outside the financial services industry trying to gain a view into what drives dealers in today's highly integrated marketplace. A committed reader is guaranteed to leave with a deep understanding of all current issues."--BOOK JACKET.
