Bodie, Kane, and Marcus’ Investments is the leading textbook for the graduate/MBA investments market. It is recognized as the best blend of practical and theoretical coverage, while maintaining an appropriate rigor and clear writing style. Its unifying theme is that security markets are nearly efficient, meaning that most securities are usually priced appropriately given their risk and return attributes. The text places greater emphasis on asset allocation, and offers a much broader and deeper treatment of futures, options, and other derivative security markets than most investment texts. more info

Bozos and the market
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This review has 3 purposes:
1. This is a great book for learning about investments. I read somewhere that this book teaches you about investments “without the math”. There is math in this book. If you want a “math lite” reference, try one of the Dummies, Idiots or Totally Confused series.
2. This book is on the syllabus for a professional exam (CAS); however, the CAS syllabus specifies a 2008 printing. This book shows a 2006 printing, but when it arrived, it was the 2008 version of the 7th edition. I don’t know if there was a 2006 printing or if Amazon just has it wrong.
3. Finally, this review is to offset the two bozos who left reviews before me. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE! This is a forum to let other interested parties know what you thought of the text. If you can’t figure that out, you probably won’t be able to understand what the text is talking about anyway. (See note 1.)

Fantastic Text
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
As a recent college graduate from a university where I used this text and as a current finance professional, I can attest that this is one of the most solid finance text books out there. Its reach is expansive, but it’s incredibly easy to follow. This book is particularly great for the undergraduate level. As I prepare for the CFA exams, I am reminded of how many concepts I learned (and still remember!) from this very text. It will definitely be a permanent fixture in my professional library for years to come.

investment for finance class
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This book is for advanced finance class. The material is hard, especially if professors talk about the materials in details.
So Far, So Good
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
As an investment banking analyst and proprietary investor for Wall Street’s two most prestigious firms, I would like to attest to the firm economic underpinnings of this book. It is refreshing to see a chapter devoted to criticisms of the efficient market hypothesis, though a further discussion of behavioral finance would be greatly welcomed. This book is concise and provides a good balance of theory and practical knowledge.
