Mayo is a clear writer who has a knack for making this material easy to understand. You may wish to compare to his other ( less expensive) textbooks that are even more basic and understandable. You should also look at the textbooks written by Bodie, Kane and Marcus. These books are somewhat more technical. I guess that most students using any of these books are only buying what is assigned. Mayo is perhaps the easiest to understand.

Avoid this textbook at all costs. The text is dull, without clear examples. The end-of-chapter problems are not correlated to chapter content.

Good deal!

Purchased this textbook for an online investments class. This book provides a very basic introduction to investments while covering all the different basic investment options one may run into. The author does a good job of explaining the material and making it easy to understand for those who do not know much about investing, but aslo keeps it interesting for those who already have a basic understanding of investments. For a good introductory textbook into the world of investing, I would recommend this book.

I HAD to buy this for my Investment class at school and I have to say it's very well written. I already have a Series 7 and 66 so this class is just a refresher. After passing the 7 I feel I am very well qualified to review this book. It's great for a person who doesn't know much about investments but wants to learn more without an individual author's tip and perspective on what investments are best. The layout is logical and the author does a great job of making the material easy for anyone to understand.

If you buy the book for your kindle (or rent it) you can search for keywords. This is especially helpful if you take an online class and need to find things quickly for a test.
