and their application to hedging and speculating investments. This
book contains 22 chapters and is divided into five parts. Part I
contains an overview including a general introduction as well as an
introduction to futures, options, swaps, and valuation theories.
Part II: Forwards and Futures discusses futures valuation, the
futures market, hedging strategies, and various types of futures.
Part III: Option Theories and Applications includes both the basic
and advanced valuation of options and option strategies in addition
to index and currency options. Part IV: Advanced Analyses of
Options takes a look at higher level strategies used to
quantitatively approach the analysis of options. Part V: Special
Topics of Options and Futures covers the applications of more
obscure and alternative methods in derivatives as well as the
derivation of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.This book
applies an active interdisciplinary approach to presenting the
material; in other words, three projects involving the use of
real-world financial data on derivative, in addition to homework
assignments, are made available for students in this book.

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.

Finance Literature: 1959-2008 by Jean L Heck and Philip L Cooley

interrelationships among these theories are carefully analyzed.
Meaningful real-world examples of using these theories are
discussed step-by-step, with relevant data and methodology.
Alternative planning and forecasting models are also used to show
how the interdisciplinary approach is helpful in making meaningful
financial management decisions.

a magical journey, still in progress...." - Jim Casada, Outdoors

This book is an introduction-level text that reviews, discusses,
and integrates both theoretical and practical corporate analysis
and planning. The field can be divided into five parts: (1)
Information and Methodology for Financial Analysis; (2) Alternative
Finance Theories and Cost of Capital; (3) Capital Budgeting and
Leasing Decisions; (4) Corporate Policies and their
Interrelationships; (5) Financial Planning and Forecasting.The
theories used and discussed in this book can be grouped into the
following classical theoretical areas of corporate finance: (1)
Pre-M&M Theory, (2) M&M Theory, (3) CAPM, and (4) Option
Pricing Theory (OPT). The interrelationships among these theories
are carefully analyzed. Real world examples are used to enrich the
learning experience; and alternative planning and forecasting
models are used to show how the interdisciplinary approach can be
used to make meaningful financial-management decisions.In this
third edition, we have extensively updated and expanded the topics
of financial analysis, planning and forecasting. New chapters were
added, and some chapters combined to present a holistic view of the
subject and much of the data revised and updated.
Corporate finance is concerned with how to make capital investment
decisions (capital budgeting); how to finance company activities,
including new investments; and how to make dividend payment
decisions. This book will lecture on important topics for corporate
finance, which will cover methods, theory, and policy decisions.
The topics which will be addressed in this book include how streams
of cash flows are valued, how financial managers evaluate
investment opportunities, how financial statements are used to
evaluate a company's financial condition and its market value, how
a manager chooses between mutually exclusive opportunities, and how
they evaluate different types of investment. This book will also
discuss the treatment of risk when evaluating a project and the
required returns on a project. Alternative sources of funds used to
finance new projects, which include internal and external sources
of funds, will be theoretically and empirically demonstrated.
Lastly, long-term financial planning will be discussed.
