April 25, 2002 message from Charlie Stutesman [southwestern.email@swcollege.com

Dear Professor Jensen,

In direct contrast to most trade training derivatives texts which emphasize issues related to the pricing and hedging of derivatives, this groundbreaking text is designed for those who want to teach students how to manage derivatives to maximize firm value through risk management. DERIVATIVES AND RISK MANAGEMENT presents the crucial tools necessary for executives and future derivatives players to effectively hedge with derivatives in order to protect firms from losses.

* WRITTEN TO EMPHASIZE THE ROLE OF MANAGERS: Managers will use derivatives to maximize firm value as opposed to traders who may use derivatives to speculate.

* MANAGERIAL APPLICATION BOXES: Preparing users to meet the challenges of today's business decisions, real-world applications bring chapter concepts to life.

* TECHNICAL BOXES: Concepts presented within the chapters are taken to a higher level of conceptual or mathematical rigor.

We encourage you to request a complimentary exam copy of DERIVATIVES AND RISK MANAGEMENT (ISBN: 0-538-86101-0) by Stulz. Simply reply to this message, contact your South-Western, Thomson Learning representative, call the Thomson Learning Academic Resource Center at 1-800-423-0563, or go to:

http://esampling.thomsonlearning.com/s1.asp?Rid=1+JWA+1719&SC=2SCF2262 

South-Western has helped provide generations of learners with a solid foundation and true understanding of finance. Now more than ever, follow the proven leader into a new century with relevant, comprehensive, and up-to-date finance products and information.

Sincerely,

Charlie Stutesman

A message from Ira Kawaller on January 13, 2002

Hi Bob,

I wanted to alert you to the fact that I posted another article on the Kawaller and Company website, "The New World Under FAS 133." It came out in the latest issue of the GARP Review. It deals with the economics and accounting considerations relating to the use of cross-currency interest rate swaps. The link below brings you to the paper:

http://www.kawaller.com/pdf/garpswaps.pdf

I also posted a new calendar of events, at

http://www.kawaller.com/schedule/calendar.pdf

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions. Thanks for your consideration.
