Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is the biggest waste of money that I have been forced to suffer through. The examples in each chapter are poorly written and are so much simpler than the actual "test questions" at the end of each chapter so as to be useless. Additionally, the selected answers in the back of the book seem to be wrong as often as they are right. You couldn't pay me enough to recommend this book to anyone.

The target market for this text is an introductory undergraduate course in which students have relatively little familiarity with investments and would like a practical and applied type of text. The approach of this undergraduate investments text reflects two central ideas:1. A consistent focus on the student as an individual investor or investment advisor.2. A consistent, unified treatment of the four basic types of financial instrumentsstocks, bonds, options, and futuresfocusing on their characteristics and features, their risks and returns, and the markets in which they trade.The focus on the student as the audience paired with Brad Jordans conversational writing style makes this a very relevant and understandable text. This text is a great complement to trading simulations, especially Stock-Trak, by covering the basic material early enough to begin trading in the first two weeks of the course.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
