 fine book - paper back way cheaperDec 21, 2011
By dan
Like many of you, I didn't really have the option to not buy the book. I thought it was well written, and fairly easy to follow. It is some fairly challenging material. If you haven't noticed there is a paper back edition of this book which is kinda difficult to fine on amazon. Same title and edition but doesn't have all the same authors listed in the amazon listing (even though it is the same). It costs about 1/5th as much as the hard cover book. Here is a link to the paperback edition Essentials of Investments

 Poor Trial to explain investment strategies to studentsFeb 23, 2011
By Mader2
"ein Thriller Fan"
The book written in investment lingo, is by far the most hideous attempt I have ever seen reading a finance textbook. The explanations lack clarity and simplicity. If this is an intro for students to get excited about investment, it should be taken into consideration to revise the edition and make it much more user friendly. Everyone is able to follow simple formulas in excel, however it would also help to explain what the outcome is going to tell and why. Statistics like the standard deviation, the co-efficient, variance, as well as the co-efficient variation are explained in a very confusing way and the attempt to make up for it by using long formulas are not helping to make it any easier to understand the material. It takes hours to read through one chapter alone - the fun of investing is certainly numbed using this textbook for finance classes.

 Intense BookJan 23, 2012
By Sane
The book is quite detailed after Chapter 4. If you don't have a good understanding of math or are unwilling to learn, this book probably isn't for you.

Prompt delivery but sometimes hard to understand while studying each chapterAug 05, 2011
By doraima
Amazon.com delivers its products and implements quick service to its customers no doubt about it.
This book contains so much details but sometimes it is hard to understand these concepts because they contain run- on sentences which is confusing. It takes more than 10 minutes for me to understand what the authors are trying to say. These professors are experts on their subject, but please write it more concisely and in lay men's terms. I guess this a complaint for publishers and authors who wrote the textbook.
I am glad that I bought the loose leaf format because I can bring whatever chapters I need to bring on campus, or take notes on lectures.
At this age, it is still hard to write on an iPad or tablet because it is not efficient to write down on a screen. If interfaces are needed to improve then this would work slowly in the digital age.
