I used the search box in Kindle to find the term 'underlying' (as in an underlying stock or asset in derivatives) and it returned a blank - No such term found. And yet the definition of a derivative in the book referred to an 'underlying stock' and an 'underlying financial asset', so why didn't the Kindle search find these terms when I keyed them in? It negates the entire purpose of a digitised dictionary.

The binding quality is appalling. The pages are stuck in and started coming out as soon as I opened it. It is a shame such information is printed and bound in such a poor and non-respectful way. I sent it back as not fit for purpose.Thanks for reading this and buy some silver as Ben Bernanki (the Chairman of the Federal Reserve USA) is still printing fiat dollars and the US dollar and hence our pound, will collapse soon.James Black 9th Sep 2011
