Could anyone suggest a couple of books on equity derivatives? Ideally, they should to readable to a person who is an entry-level quant (in FI) and who wants to be working in trading/structuring rather than in duilding models... Thanks in advance.The goal is to get a relative broad picture of the products, pricing theories, and frontiers. Of course, hope it can also provide reference if want to dig into some technical details later...
