Credit Risk Measurement: New Approaches To Value At Risk And Other Paradigms (226 pages, $69.95 hardcover, 1999, ISBN 0471350842), by Anthony Saunders, published by John Wiley & Sons. The single most important topic in finance today is the art and science of credit risk management. Growing dissatisfaction with traditional credit risk measurement methods has combined with regulations imposed by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in 1993 to send financial institutions in search of alternative "internal model" approaches to measuring the credit risk of a loan or portfolio of loans. Here, the author explores the approaches of several of these new models.

The 100 Best Stocks To Own For Under $20 (318 pages, $19.95 paperback, 1999, ISBN 0793132304), by Gene Walden, published by Dearborn, a Kaplan Professional Company. There are exceptional values left in the market, observes Gene Walden. He should know. He just spent the last year evaluating 6,000 small stocks, and analyzing 700 in depth, to come up with the 100 best stocks under $20. This book highlights the best young, up-and-coming companies yet to be discovered by the rest of the investing world. Although many of the stocks featured are startups, and therefore relatively risky investments, at least some of them may prove to be the next Microsoft or eBay. Many are in the fast-growing technology sectors, and the vast majority appear to be exceptional values relative to the rest of the market.
