Comprehensive and easy to understand, it provides brokers, operations personnel, and individual investors with definitive and up-to-the-minute explanations of each step in the trading process—from the moment a customer decides to buy or sell a security through the final requirements of record keeping. Written for both securities professionals and individual investors, whether domestic or in other countries, this new edition clearly explains the core of underwritings, new and established trading markets, transaction processing, margin, and more—while providing critical insights into the most recent wave of industry changes. David M. Weiss, a veteran securities professional, traces the entire process of buying or selling a security, from order management to transaction processing to the final posting on the firm’s books and records. He covers the specialized attributes of each function in a typical brokerage firm, as well as their relationships with commercial banks, transfer agents, clearing corporations, and depositories. After the Trade Is Made is the definitive resource for anyone eager to understand and confidently navigate the vast and often surprising world of securities. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The best investment in my lifeI can't recommend this book highly enough. I own a second edition, and it literally made me tens of thousands of dollars (which, being young and irresponsible, I have spend almost entirely on alcohol, laptops, and occasionally girls). Now I am a successful consultant in Geneva, Switzerland, designing and development trading platforms for buy-side and sell-side companies in foreign exchange markets.

Rating:  - Dated but ValuableThe first edition of this book was written back when computers and automated processing was emerging and 'a new thing' so much of the information this book started with is pretty dated. The second edition was updated in the '90s and correspondingly updates some things but, suffice it to say, is still dated now. I would argue though that the information contained therein is still very, very valuable for reference, particularly for purposes of following the 'money and paper trail'. The concepts and ...

He used this incredible book as the basis of a 2 week series of lectures on the minutiae of trade processing. He made up for the shocking content of the book with his array of monogrammed Brooks Brothers shirts and sandwiches with english mustard. What can you say about this fine gentleman....hats off to you for making a great career about such fascinating stuff! I remember the time vividly as it was my first job and a unique life experience. Rating: - Excellent BookEach and every concept is well explained with examples. I would request the author to add separate chapter for derivatives as well. Rating: - Not comprehensive enough and unfortunately outdated on marketplacesThe topics suggested by the title (settlement, etc) are well addressed, but the first half of the book is dedicated to marketplaces and here the book comes up short. Many recent market developments, even those that were in place at the time of writing, appear to be inadequately or inaccurately addressed. Examples: ATSes/ECNs are much more center stage than the book would suggest and are not sufficiently discussed Hybrid market mechanics are not discussed much Dark ... Read More
