I've had this for ages, and find myself referring to it more and more often of late. It's really nice just getting the definition for a term without having to wade through 1. search results, then pointless discussion surrounded by advertising on typical web pages.

This dictionary is helpful for both the professional banker/investor and the layman alike. The definitions are well written and easy to understand. It's not like they are trying to impress people with explanations containing words that regular people never heard of or use in sentences. It is written at the perfect reading level for someone like me who never went past a general business class in school. Thank you Barron's!
