Review :
..". a must for the professionals in world markets." South China Morning Post "An invaluable compilation of the world's exchange products and trading information referenced in one source." Anthony Wyan, Vice President, Market Data Quality Assurance, Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. "It's a long way through the Stock Exchange alphabet from A for Abidjan to Z for Zurich ... However, with business looking at the world as a 'global village', such differences become an irritating obstacle to the free flow of capital and investment. The publication of compendia like this one is but one of many measures taken to bridge these gaps." Dr Richard T. Mayer, Chief Executive, Zurich Stock Exchange
