Review of Boston Inst. of Finance.......2007-04-07

This book was a good guide for studying for the Series 6 and 63. The material was direct and straight to the point (not much fluf). The practice tests were very helpful and some of the questions were on the actual NASD exam. I have only taken the Series 63 so far. I passed on my first attempt. I would recommend this book for anyone taking these tests, but you probably should use additional study material as well.

Alright.......2007-03-09

I read the whole section on the series 6 part and completed all the tests. I was feeling good about taking the test because I was completing the tests on the book with ease. After taking my Series 6 I saw that the book did not cover alot of the things the test had.. I was really Disappointed now I have to go buy A Kaplan Book if anyone wants to buy my books email me.

Don't waste your money.......2006-01-03

If you want to pass your exams get the Dearborn series, I failed my 63 using this book and barely passed my 6. The real test closely mirrors dearborn material. If you can pass the practice exams on dearborn then you will pass the real thing. Dearborn forces you to understand the concepts not just definitions...... This book was a waste......

Short but to the point.......2005-09-20

This book is short, not a lot of material to study, but it also tends to shove a lot of info into one page, so you find yourself spending a lot of time going back over material and re-reading so that you can actually answer the questions on each practice test, which thankfully, there are plenty of. If not fot the many, and seemingly helpful practice tests, this book would get three stars in my opinion. But it is a very good book if you are on a budget.

meh.......2005-09-03

This book is very short, half of the book are practice questions.
If you want details, dont get this book.

Personal Usage.......2007-05-13

The book gives good ideas but I've only used it twice since the purchase. However, if you aren't articulate and need to see samples I would recommend this book. I just tire of using my same fallbacks and wanted to switch them up. Helped a bit but not much for me. MysticBleu

As A Man Thinketh Part II.......2004-10-31

I Like "Little Books". These books attempt to impart stimulating thoughts as random reflections on the passing scene. I always find lists like this attractive...maybe because they are easy to read. The "Great Little Book on the Universal Laws of Success" by Brian Tracy is a "Little Book" which assembles Mr. Tracy's universal laws for successful living. I have studied these laws before and it was nice to have them collected in one book.

These principles are written like scientific laws which govern a person's prosperity and happiness. It could be considered an updated "As A Man Thinketh" because it provides much the same materials however where "As A Man Thinketh" is written as a poem, ULOS is as a text book. This does not take away from it in any way; I found its laws to be very enlightening. Topics such as Belief, Choice, Expectations, Habit, Optimism, Responsibility, Attention, Expediency and Desire are all written in thought-provoking laws. I have found this book not to be a self help guide, more of a book of instruction. Where a person once was unaware of these rules they can now either ignore them in pain or accept them and move toward enlightenment.

Book Description

The need to limit IMF financial rescues is a theme of the literature on how to make the world a safer financial place. Those who propose to simply prohibit IMF rescues assume that it is politically feasible for the Fund to stand aside when a crisis erupts. The reality is that the costs of inaction (a severe economic contraction, an extended interruption to capital-market access, and a lengthy and difficult restructuring) are too painful for the official community to bear. In this first 'Special Report' in the ICMB/CEPR series of Geneva Reports on the World Economy, Professor Eichengreen argues that institutional reforms that address these dilemmas are needed if the international policy community is to succeed in containing moral hazard.

The IMF bailout was a forced moved not a policy implementation........2005-12-26

1980s, the top nine US banks were in danger of default caused from the Mexico bank crisis. These top nine US banks stood too lose 50% of their value, should Mexico banks default. Mexico banks were unable to pay $30 billion due on their $80 billion loan. Less Development Loans totaled a staggering $540 billion for loans extended to third world countries, such as Brazil ($87 billion), Argentina ($43 billion), Venezuela, and Mexico ($80 billion); and threaten to cause a chain reaction of bank defaults through Latin America. The Fed monetary policy had caused the crisis, but the problem started long before with over-lending practices fighting against the forces of prudent assessment of economic fundamentals. This over exposure to risk made the commercial bank extremely vulnerable. Fed monetary policy started with blame focused on OPEC and its expensive oil in the 70s and 80s; OPEC profits soared and dollar surpluses accumulated as countries paid for the oil in dollars, reaching a peak of $68 billion; petrodollar recycling feed into the Euromarket arteries accelerating credit expansion velocity causing banks too over lend in competitive expectation of seeking profits against the better wisdom of risk; the Euromarket flung the petrodollar credit lines at LDC - lending over $1 trillion. LDC logic seem sound, the real interest was negative, so borrowing money now and paying later with cheap depreciated dollars made sense, as inflation moved upward, in these countries. In the US, M1 money was inflating at 15% annually. Japanese banks had $10 billion at risk in these LDC investments. LDC countries thought they could painless grow themselves out of the OPEC shock. Waste plague LDC, as too much of the debt was invested on uneconomic, corrupt, and wasteful investments. Mexico officials met with the IMF, de Lareiere, Donald Regan and declared, "Mexico needed lots of money" and President Jose Lopez Portillo was prepared to call world heads of state and announce default on Mexico debt. Volcker believe or knew that if the Mexico default that would cause the nine top US banks to go bankrupt and if the US system of banks failed the whole system would fail. At risk were 500 banks including Deutshe bank, Union bank, and Citibank (largest capitalization in the world). The fed was willing to make a $3.5 billion emergency transfusion. The fed knew they had created the crisis. Volcker war on inflation moved the economy's real interest into positive territory. Each percentage point increase in long-term US interest rates added $3.5 to $4 billion in LDC debt, so a five percent increase would increase debt by $20 billion dollars, at the same time a soaring dollar value caused a world industrial recession and killed demand for commodities. As a result Mexico oil prices plunged in the 1980-81 recession and inflation leaped to 35%. Volcker need Mexico to make its payments and avoid default, so a $700 million swap to make interest payments was made available. IMF was forced into a $4.5 billion loan over 3 years necessary for Mexico to unlock government debt rescheduling prolonging extension of debt payment; $1 billion of the money for the loan when to purchase Mexican oil for the US; IMF approved $1.685 billion immediately and approved the temporary suspension of principle payments.
