[Rashad Raoufi]

its a very good beginners guide that is precise and well written. however as a general reader its incredibly dull sometimes, ocasionally when you forget how boring it is, it can get pretty interesting such as the attmept to explain derivatives which are so complex, mysterious yet mind boggling when revenues are discussed. its very hard to understand at times, where one has to read pages again to get the meaning whilst at others times tis futile to even comprehnd the rules and regulations which are not riveting reading. i may have to read this again to get what it means or i might just move on as its so boring but useful for anyone interested.
