Does anyone recommend a good book on finance? I’d like to understand most of the terms used in this post, and then some, but the old repository doesn’t have any suggestions.
Last, I would suggest you can also just ask any of the available LLM’s out there now to explain the term you are interested in and get a pretty good initial explanation.
As for books, I have three. How good they are is subjective as one textbook is from years ago but they should cover most of the investment markets side of things:
Options as a Strategic Investment (Lawrence McMIllan)
Technical Analysis (Kirkpatrick & Dahlquist)
Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management (Frank Reilly) -- the old textbook I kept around.
If your interest in more in the economic terms and theory area you might look for The MIT Dictionary of Modern Economics or a similar dictionary of economic terms.
I don’t see many particularly exotic finance terms, but I would think a recent edition of Brigham and Ehrhardt’s “Financial Management: Theory and Practice” is probably the most authoritative (but not being available for ‘preview’ on Google Books I haven’t been able to do a quick ctrl+f to see if it uses a sample of terms in that post). However I suspect that even one of those Tony Robbins books on investing will provide you the terminology or even Investopedia.

You might find this link helpful for your questions.
This is a link to the glossory from the above site.
This is from the FRB of St. Louis.

Thanks! I know about Investopedia & often use GPT-4 for this kind of thing, but I prefer books because I can also read them offline.
