Praise for Foreign Exchange
"Tim Weithers starts by telling the reader that foreign exchange is
not difficult, just confusing, but Foreign Exchange: A Practical
Guide to the FX Markets proves that money is much more exciting
than anything it buys. This useful book is a whirlwind tour of the
world's largest market, and the tour guide is an expert
storyteller, inserting numerous fascinating insights and quirky
facts throughout the book."
-John R. Taylor, Chairman, CEO and CIO, FX Concepts
"The book reflects the author's doctorate from the University of
Chicago, several years' experience as an economics professor, and,
most recently, a very successful decade as an executive at a huge
international bank. These fundamental ingredients are seasoned with
bits of wisdom and experience. What results is a very tasty
intellectual stew."
-Professor Jack Clark Francis, PhD, Professor of Economics and
Finance, Bernard Baruch College
"In this book, Tim Weithers clearly explains a very complicated
subject. Foreign Exchange is full of jargon and conventions that
make it very hard for non-professionals to gain a good
understanding. Weither's book is a must for any student or
professional who wants to learn the secrets of FX."
-Niels O. Nygaard, Director of Financial Mathematics, The
University of Chicago
"An excellent text for students and practitioners who want to
become acquainted with the arcane world of the foreign exchange
market."
-David DeRosa, PhD, founder, DeRosa Research and Trading, Inc. , and
Adjunct Professor of Finance, Yale School of Management
"Tim Weithers provides a superb introduction to the arcana of
foreign exchange markets. While primarily intended for
practitioners, the book would be a valuable introduction for
students with some knowledge of economics. The text is
exceptionally clear with numeric examples and exercises that
reinforce concepts. Frequent references are made to the economic
theory behind the trading practices."
-John F. O'Connell, Professor of Economics, College of the Holy
Cross
