Rezensionen

"What sets Poitras' book apart is not only thecomprehensive and rigorous treatment of the subject of investmentsand security analysis but also the way in which he cradles it inits philosophy, history and core theory. I strongly recommend thistext for those serious enough to seek an advanced study of thefield." Andrew Karolyi,OhioStateUniversity

"Poitras's new investments textbook is a tour de force.Unlike most investments texts it breaks new ground in putting'modern' finance into perspective and linking what we as academicsthink we know with the views on the street. In this it developsthose most elusive commodities: wisdom and judgment."Lawrence Booth, Rotman School of Managment, University ofToronto
