A friendly and engaging writing style gets students invested in the material, helping them to learn the material the first time and review the material before exams. A flexible chapter structure allows professors to easily integrate the text into their syllabi. The first section describes the overall investment environment. The second section presents the conceptual tools needed by investors--the concepts of risk and return and the basics of portfolio construction. Then each of the popular investment vehicles--common stocks, bonds, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and mutual funds--is addressed. A chapter on how to apply these concepts to administer a personal portfolio follows, culminating in a section on derivative securities, options, and futures. A clear focus on the individual investor gives students the basic tools and techniques they need to develop, implement, and monitor a successful investment program. Timely topics take changes in the investment environment into account, such as recent financial crises and scandals that remind students that investing is just as much about risk as it is about returns. A focus on globalization emphasizes the growth of global securities markets and international investing as a major trend in the market. A comprehensive, integrated learning system makes it clear what each students should learn from the chapter at hand, allowing them to successfully focus their efforts throughout the course.
