I can officially say that I understand investing better than I ever thought possible. From derivatives to hedge funds to commodity futures, this book covered them all and explained them in a way that even I could comprehend.

[Amy]

Good investing book for business students and potential investors. Material is easy to understand and offers real world examples.

Livro dificil para iniciantes, mas ótimo para quem conhece.

[Aleksey Timin]

Не лучший выбор для Российского читателя. В книге очень много материала связанного с законодательством США. Плюс, с 80-ч много воды утекло, и инвестирование тоже поменялось.

Went over everything that I already know but its a good refresher.

Read 6 pages and did the test prep guide...that was enough for me.
