Customer Reviews

It's a excellent portfolio theory and capital markets book.

This is a excellent book because it is very easy to understand the text. Professor Sharpe used a lot of figures to describe thr concepts and he did not use the rigor math to analyse ideas thereofore this is a very good introductory book for the economics and finance areas. If you have the intermediate microeconomics and basic statistics knowledge you can read it easily. I strongly recommend everyone who majors in the Economics and Finance to buy this book. No one should miss it.

Nice one for the Investment

It is a great book for the one wants to know the investment better...and the writer does give us concise idea of how to calculate the payoff of the portfolio...The writer is a Nobel prize winner and one of the pioneer in the finance...I guess everyone, who wants to know the idea of Investment, should and have to read it more than once....

A great book by a powerful mind

This is the best intro to the basic of modern investment theory for everyone with high school math background. It acts like Feynman's lecture on Physics; concise, clear, readable, and original. Nobel winner Dr. Sharpe inspires readers to plunge into the study of portfolio theory. With the help of algorithm in appendix, readers can do their experimental calculations. Highly recommended.
