Hi, I just have a quick question:

Which ratios would you use to analyze the balance sheet of an investment bank?

P/E P/CF Quick Ratio ROE ROCE Debt Ratio

any other Ratios you would use?

Thanks in advance

Hi, I was wondering if anybody knows a good book on financial analysis/ accounting with respect to financial services companies or banks (i.e. the companies they used in their examples are banks). I used the search function but it came up empty. Would help me a lot, thx.
