"Simon Benninga's book is the best resource on the market for people interested in DOING finance. The spreadsheet examples are easily used, state-of-the-art and unique. The use of VBA is particularly useful, given that it is rapidly becoming the programming language of choice on the Street. I would highly recommend this book to both academics and practitioners interested in constructing finance models." -- Tim Opler, Director, Liability Management, Deutsche Morgan Grenfell and Department of Finance, Ohio State University.
