Bodie, Kane, and Marcus' INVESTMENTS is the leading textbook for the graduate/MBA investments market. It is recognized as the best blend of practical and theoretical coverage, while maintaining an appropriate rigor and clear writing style. Its unifying theme is that security markets are nearly efficient, meaning that most securities are usually priced appropriately given their risk and return attributes. The text places greater emphasis on asset allocation, and offers a much broader and deeper treatment of futures, options, and other derivative security markets than most investment texts.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A classic but needs more,
This review is from: Investments 8th Edition (Hardcover)
This book remains a classic from my years at BU. However, later on i learned that you need to put the theory of it with real books from traders and hedge fund managers like Toby Crabel and Linda Raschke. They both are phenomenal personalities and their books are always out of print. You may be able still to find something on Ebay or Amazon. Good luck, this is a good book.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Explanations,

This review is from: Investments 8th Edition (Hardcover)
I think the book is well written, and that the way it explains some of the nuances with respect to portfolios are great. The one chapter that is kind of annoying is Chapter 5, because it gives another way to notate compounding interest.... confusing. Outside of that, the book has been an excellent reference for class. Also, my comments are assuming that the user of this book is someone who has a Finance background. If this was for a beginner,...uhh, I think it would be quite the challenge. I hope this is useful.
4.0 out of 5 stars

I took a graduate course which used this book and I thought that it was extremely well written. The examples are great and the material is interesting. Well worth the price.
