A Message from Nancy Margolis, Senior Editorial Director
of MsMoney.com:
After 10 years in the book business, I still feel about
books the way I did as a 12-year-old, whiling away the
hours, lost in the pages of a cherished novel. Books
were captivating because they had the power to convey
me to a world where my mind was stretched, provoked,
and entertained and where I felt anything was possible
and learning was infinite. As an editor, I have become
a more discriminating reader, but my criteria for what
makes a truly great book haven’t changed--the best
authors are those who share their knowledge in a way
that stimulates readers and makes them aware of their
limitless capacity for learning and discovery.
Each week in Editor’s Pick, I will introduce
you to a book that meets these criteria--a book to jump-start
or extend your financial education and put you one step
further on your path to financial health and independence.
Happy reading, and please feel free to contact me at
editor@msmoney.com.
The Dictionary of Financial Terms
By Virginia and Kenneth Morris
 Are
you fuzzy on what a "margin call" is? Does the difference
between the NASD and the NASDAQ escape you? Would you guess
that "scripophily" is a terrible disease?* Then you should
pick up a copy of The Dictionary of Financial Terms
by Virginia and Kenneth Morris. Written in clear language
and colorfully illustrated, the dictionary is a fun and informative
translator of financial speak. So the next time you pick up
a newspaper or tune into the evening news, use this quick
reference, and you'll understand everything from fundamental
investing terms (i.e., earnings per share) to how to "strangle"
a stock.
*scripophily: the practice of collecting antique stocks,
bonds, and other securities.
