Security Analysis, Portfolio Management, and Financial Derivatives integrates the many topics of modern investment analysis. It provides a balanced presentation of theories, institutions, markets, academic research, and practical applications, and presents both basic concepts and advanced principles. Topic coverage is especially broad: in analyzing securities, the authors look at stocks and bonds, options, futures, foreign exchange, and international securities. The discussion of financial derivatives includes detailed analyses of options, futures, option pricing models, and hedging strategies. A unique chapter on market indices teaches students the basics of index information, calculation, and usage and illustrates the important roles that these indices play in model formation, performance evaluation, investment strategy, and hedging techniques. Complete sections on program trading, portfolio insurance, duration and bond immunization, performance measurements, and the timing of stock selection provide real-world applications of investment theory. In addition, special topics, including equity risk premia, simultaneous-equation approach for security valuation, and Ito's calculus, are also included for advanced students and researchers.

This introductory textbook for business statistics teaches statistical analysis and research methods via business case studies and financial data using Excel, Minitab, and SAS. Every chapter in this textbook engages the reader with data of individual stock, stock indices, options, and futures. One studies and uses statistics to learn how to study, analyze, and understand a data set of particular interest. Some of the more popular statistical programs that have been developed to use statistical and computational methods to analyze data sets are SAS, SPSS, and Minitab. Of those, we look at Minitab and SAS in this textbook. One of the main reasons to use Minitab is that it is the easiest to use among the popular statistical programs. We look at SAS because it is the leading statistical package used in industry. We also utilize the much less costly and ubiquitous Microsoft Excel to do statistical analysis, as the benefits of Excel have become widely recognized in the academic world and its analytical capabilities extend to about 90 percent of statistical analysis done in the business world. We demonstrate much of our statistical analysis using Excel and double check the analysis and outcomes using Minitab and SAS-also helpful in some analytical methods not possible or practical to do in Excel.
Part of a series which focuses on advances in futures and options research, this volume discusses a variety of topics in the field.

Twelve papers focus on investment analysis, portfolio theory, and their implementation in portfolio management
This fifth volume in the series covers a variety of topics in the field of advances in investment and portfolio management.
There are ten papers in this volume. They are:
The purpose of this paper is to incorporate both skewness and kurtosis explicitly through extending Zhang (1994) to provide bounds for the prices of and expected payoffs for options, given the first two moments of skewness and kurtosis. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. Section II - distributions of terminal stock prices with given expected prices, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis under the assumption that the underlying asset price is continuously distributed. Similar to the results given in (1), the bounds derived in this paper depend on the information of the cumulative distribution of the underlying asset. However, it is shown in Section II that for each set of moments, there always exists one semi-parametric upper bound which is independent of the information of any distribution of the underlying asset. This semi-parametric upper bound has the same property as that in the case of the first two moments in Zhang (1994), that is, it is always greater than, or equal to, the distribution dependent bounds.
In this issue, there are thirteen high-quality and interesting
papers to deal with the issue of Financial Analysis, Planning and
Forecasting. Out of these thirteen papers, we can classify them
into two major groups i.e. (a) Risk Analysis and (b) Financial
Evaluation Models. The Risk Analysis group includes five papers as
follows: The financial evaluation models group consists of seven papers
as follows: In addition to these two groups there is a paper using survey approach to banking operations entitled Organizational Features, Operating Procedures, and Overdue Loans: empirical findings from a Commercial Bank's opinion survey in Taiwan.In summary, this issue is useful for readers who are interested in risk analysis and alternative financialevaluation models. In addition to these two groups there is a paper using survey approach to banking operations entitled Organizational Features, Operating Procedures, and Overdue Loans: empirical findings from a Commercial Bank's opinion survey in Taiwan.
