What is the name of the resource? "List of Finance Glossaries"
How do you access it? This resource is very easy to access. All you need to do is scroll to the bottom of this page, and click on the link to whatever glossary you like!
When should you use it? Learning about and following the investment banking industry is difficult. When reading articles and watching news stories, there are always times where I hear a term that I don't know. These glossaries can be used to look up such terms. So, just use it whenever you hear something you don't know! It makes learning a lot easier.
What type of information does it provide? These glossaries provide you with a definition for a finance-related term that you don't know.
How do you make it work? These glossaries are simply databases of finance-related terms and definitions. You can either search your term to find an article, or browse the entire glossary to find terms you are unsure of.
What grade do I give it? B
Why? Finance glossaries are perfect for finding definitions of terms. Throughout the creation of this project, I used these glossaries to look up hundreds of words. My only gripe with these sites is that the definitions are rarely updated to reflect changing definitions and meanings. They also give you little real-world context. Overall, however, they are very useful.
