another viewpoint

This book has a complete description in the investment and portfolio management. It give me another viewpoint of this field. If you would like to know something about investment and portfolio management, it would be a choice which could help you learn something in this field. Compare with FRM handbook, I think that it has more thorough description.

Please remember...this is a textbook :)

This is a textbook people. How much reviewing can be done? Obviously the teacher will choose the book and all of us will then be suckered into purchasing. It's pretty pricey for the enclosed information. Certainly not worth the extreme price tag.

Solid Book on Investment Analysis

This is an excellent book on Investment Analysis and one of the best books recommended by the CFA Institute for its curriculum. I commend the authors for providing a solid foundation (chapters 1-9 on the Investment Background and Theory) before moving on to the heart of this book, namely security analysis (stocks, bonds and derivatives). This book succeeds in teaching material in a variety of ways. Here are some things I appreciated: 1) Chapters begin by providing readers with an overview 2) Terms and concepts are defined 3) Formulas are presented, followed by practical examples 4) Investments are presented in a global perspective 5) Authors help the readers work through the examples by providing calculations 6) "Real world" situations and break-out boxes are used frequently 7) Authors get you think by asking questions beforehand. 8) Excellent chapter end question sets, many with CFA focus A hidden gem of this book is found with the extensive references to relevant website links. The authors advise you on where to look for additional topical information. A great "value added" feature of this book. The authors have also written a solutions guide to the chapter end problem set which is tremendously helpful. What a pleasure it is to read this book - it truly deserves a 5 star rating!!

The Bible for professional money managers

I have read this book for my CFA review studies and for a security analysis class I took at the University of Notre Dame taught by Professor Reilly. This book is a must for those seeking a career in money management or those seeking to become highly educated on the topic. Extremely well conceived and written. Moreover, the book doesn't exclude anything. Topics range from Options & Futures to Top-Down investment analysis. Regarded by investment professionals as the definitive source on the subject. Written for the higher educated reader in mind.
