About the Book:
Capital is a deliberately brief, high-altitude view of the basic concepts in finance. It is organized around seven fundamental ideas, groupedin three major book sections:
Using capital: Deciding whether an investment earns a satisfactory return
- Fundamental Idea A: Time Value of Money—Chapter III
- Fundamental Idea B: Risk and Return/Diversification –Chapter V
- Fundamental Idea C: Net Present Value (NPV)—Chapter VII
Acquiring capital: tapping investors to provide the financing your business needs to grow
- Fundamental Idea D: Bond and stock prices—Chapters XIV and XV
- Fundamental Idea E: Capital structure (Debt/equity mix)—Chapter XV
Investing capital: Deploying your surplus in asset markets (Wall Street)
- Fundamental Idea F: Efficient market hypothesis (EMH)—Chapter XVIII
- Fundamental Idea G:Portfolio construction (Modern Portfolio Theory, MPT)—Chapter XIX
A fourth section applies these ideas for individual readers, showing examples of how financial literacy will make them better consumers and investors, and offer them a competitive advantage in their careers.
This second edition reflects comments by hundreds of readers.
