I admit that I own his previous book on structured finance cash flows, but I was surprised by what I found in here. He addresses the fundamental questions of how decision makers react to simulations and his read was very much in accordance with what I've experienced myself. When it came to the nuts and bolts of describing the different types of simulation analysis the book becomes incredibly detailed. There is working code and models for a fantastic array of the most common simulation problems. If you're so inclined, the book very carefully steps through the tricky math needed to really understand the theory behind stochastic modeling in finance. If you're preparing models that include any kind of randomization or stochastic modeling component, this book is a must-read, a tremendous value and time-saver.\"\u003c\/i\u003e — David Brode of The Brode Group  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA practical guide to understanding and implementing financial simulation modeling\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs simulation techniques become more popular among the financial community and a variety of sub-industries, a thorough understanding of theory and implementation is critical for practitioners involved in portfolio management, risk management, pricing, and capital budgeting. \u003ci\u003eFinancial Simulation Modeling in Excel\u003c\/i\u003e contains the information you need to make the most informed decisions possible in your professional endeavors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFinancial Simulation Modeling in Excel\u003c\/i\u003e contains a practical, hands-on approach to learning complex financial simulation methodologies using Excel and VBA as a medium.
