Vote for the best Risk book

Posted by Boris Agranovich on November 28, 2010 at 12:54 in Opinions

I propose that members vote for the best Risk book they read and they can recommend. 


The best ten books voted will be displayed on our main page and people will have an opportunity to buy them via our site using our partnership deal with Amazon. 

We will announce the winners and try to interview them. By the way there are many authors among our members. My suggestion to them – don’t shy away and put your  book forward for the vote.

I look forward for your active participation.

    I strongly recommend Gary Toms' Managing Global Enterprise Risks available from Amazon.com and elsewhere. The text takes a broad enterprise approach to asset / people protection .

The purpose is to get EUR place @ CB for LCR compliance purpose (no trading purposes).

Plunging oil prices: curse or blessing in disguise?

The recent sudden crash of oil prices has had a major impact on the world economy, leading to many troubled faces in the international arena. The Russians fear the effects of yet another powerful hit on their economy, Venezuela seems to be considering default and the Americans are weary of the consequences for its young and emerging shale oil industry.
