I think I would be writing most of the book, except for the chapters on Islamic finance and Islamic derivatives. That I leave to my co-author.

The counter-party risk and does Singapore have juristriction should something happen to these companies?<br /><br />What is gained by allowing them to operate here?

Would it not need to be updated as the Market changes it's rules? e.g Would the EU doing something to stablize the Euro affect derivatives? <br /><br />At which level is the textbook suppose to be for? Undergrad, postgrad, etc?<br /><br />Undergrad market is tough, nearly as bad as primary/sec school. Lecturers are lazy people who want their textbooks to come with exercises and stuff, so that they don't have to prepare them. If got solution, lagi better. <br /><br />Postgrad is more forgiving.lobo76noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405345292513335071.post-31929807849726991652011-09-26T12:08:07.864+08:002011-09-26T12:08:07.864+08:00Congrads!
