Understanding Finance
I hope this site offers a starting point in understanding the
mysteries of FINANCE. Most newspapers, and most magazines if it comes to
that, seem to assume that readers already know the finance story so far
and that all they require is an update. In reality few of us have the
time or the background to cope with the thousand and one issues that
crowd in on us from airwaves and newsprint. And many stories which are
already into their third week, or month, or decade, or even century,
seem to have gone beyond the point where we can make any sense of them.
This treatment of finance tries to make it easier to approach. But in
the end it is not that easy. For some of us it moves into alien
territory and demands that we think in unfamiliar ways. But I think it
is worth persevering. This is an area of which we should all have a
least a little knowledge.
The world of finance is complex and there is so much to understand. Who
are Wonga and
what do they offer? Who are
Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac? What impact does the movement of interest rates
have on me? That is why we try to help breakdown the world of finance
for you and do so in a manner that is easy to understand.
