This book provides a very useful guide in order to understand the basic theory about Investments. The only one thing that the writer of this book must do is to add is more demonstration problems.

This books gives you a lot of informative information about investing and what you should do with your money and why. I am in class right now using this book and also purchased The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investment by Jason Kelly. The two books we use with the [...] website and has helped greatly to give me a great understanding of all the information. This book on its own can be confusing if you don't have a back ground in finances of the stock market, my background is in real estate and mortgages so those areas are easy for me. I would recommend this book and if you have a college class I recommend the above book and the website they are all great tools to gain you the knowledge needed in investing and preparing a successful portfolio.

I am an accounting major, but I think that finance is just as important in business and that is why I am taking a finance course. This book is pretty good for starters like myself, but the author should have more work problems to fine tune the skills needed to really grasp the concepts. I also feel that a student workbook would greatly help. The website for this book is also extremely limited and does not provide any additional help for people that purchase this book. I would not feel comfortable recommending this book to anyone wanting to get a basic knowledge of finance.

There should be NO typos in a 9th edition. But go ahead and count them - not just in the text, but problems as well. There are times when formulas in the body of chapters are wrong or other times when you don't have all the info needed to answer one of the problems. Universities and instructors should be ashamed of themselves for making you spend $120 on this.

This investment book is sufficiently detailed to explain complicated investment concepts. It has lots of examples with solutions. There are a few errors and I presume the 7th edition has corrected some of them.

Good book for the beginner to advanced, no nonsense writing and not bogged down with advanced formulas. Should be an expert in the subject after atempting all questions after each topic.
