Investments is a well written text book that has been updated frequently. It is refreshing to see examples in the book from 2007 that touch upon what is behind the failing of the lending institutions. It is easy to read and makes learning some rather complicated investment subjects easier. I would like to see more thorough examples on how to work through the various problems (either by calculator or by hand) that are assigned to the student. There is however links to the book's website that allows the student to use some excel spreadsheets to work through the books assigned problems. Overall it is an informative book that delivers on making the reader more intelligent on the finance subject.

I loved this class and this book! Obviously you would need more than just the book to become a personal investor but its definitely a start.

|A classic but needs more,
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.
