3.0 out of 5 stars
Good but not Great,
This review is from: Portfolio Construction, Management, and Protection (with Stock-Trak Coupon) (Hardcover)
This book is informative yet not too detailed on some calculations are done. I have to do side research on how to do certain averages and some information can be vague. This book is not for begginners, if you have a good amount of knowledge or experience, then this might be a great book, yet if you are just beggining, then it can be very confusing.

Good shipping, actually book is questionable.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Portfolio Construction, Management, and Protection (with Stock-Trak Coupon) (Hardcover)
Everything from shipping to packing was great. The biggest question was about the actual book though, the pages are very easily ripped out. Obvious fault of the publisher.
