From the title, I expected to find advice on preparing images for the screen, how to put them on a CD or DVD, etc. Those things are there, but the book begins in a logical place that I wouldn't have considered. Brown's approach is truly holistic. Check out page 23 for the first page of a three-page self assessment check list. It ...             Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management (with Thomson ONE - Business School Edition)23 reviews Frank K. Reilly, Keith C. Brown South-Western College Pub, 2005 Solid Book on Investment Analysis This is an excellent book on Investment Analysis and one of the best books recommended by the CFA Institute for its curriculum. I commend the authors for providing a solid foundation (chapters 1-9 on the Investment Background and Theory) before moving on to the heart of this book, namely security analysis (stocks, bonds and derivatives). This book succeeds in teaching material in a variety ...             Modern Portfolio Theory and Investment Analysis7 reviews Edwin J. Elton, Martin J. Gruber, ... Wiley, 2006 Excellent theoretical background This was one of the texts I had to read for one of my MBA classes. It provides an excellent theoretical background in finance and the theories that link finance to macro and micro economics. It is not very practical however. Not much in the book can be applied. It is a must, however, for any serious student of finance. The coverage of option models is a little light, however. I highly recommend ...             How to Develop a Professional Portfolio: A Manual for Teachers (4th Edition)12 reviews Dorothy M. Campbell, Pamela Bondi Cignetti, ... Allyn & Bacon, 2006 Perfect for Portfolio Development Aid This reference guide is an excellent tool for developing your own portfolio at the end of a professional development project.

I am proud to say that I was accepted and will now be referencing the book to put together my ...             Managing Investment Portfolios: A Dynamic Process (CFA Institute Investment Series)1 review Wiley, 2007 Reads just like a textbook For someone wanting a technical textbook, this is very good. For someone who wants more than just a textbook, or just really doesn't have any professional knowledge in the portfolio management field, and wants advise for managing his/her portfolio that is easy to understand and comprehend, this book is not for you.             The Gone Fishin' Portfolio: Get Wise, Get Wealthy...and Get on With Your Life (Agora Series)9 reviews Alexander Green Wiley, 2008 A must read for any investor I'm pretty much a "beginner" when it comes to investing, and before I read Alexander Green's book and I was considering getting someone to manage my money and make investments for me.

This book gave me the confidence to do my own investing...and his way I only have to spend 20 ...             Project Portfolio Management: A Practical Guide to Selecting Projects, Managing Portfolios, and Maximizing ...4 reviews Harvey A. Levine Jossey-Bass, 2005 Overall, very well done I have been waiting for a good, practical portfolio management book and this one hits the mark for me. It contains a good mix of content including some "theory" as well as a good bit of practical advice. The writing style is clear, to the point, and provides you with enough to go off and make something happen in your organization. As an aside, I think the graphic on the cover is right on ...             Portfolio Life: The New Path to Work, Purpose, and Passion After 508 reviews David D. Corbett Jossey-Bass, 2006 A Different Retirement Book Conventional retirement books tend to focus on the event of the end of normal full-time employment, followed by some sort of activity-oriented shift into hobbies and possibly consulting and/or Board Membership. On the other hand, Portfolio Life makes the reader focus on thinking about how we want to spend our time, what balance of activities would be fulfilling, and what rewards (psychic and ...             Pioneering Portfolio Management: An Unconventional Approach to Institutional Investment18 reviews David F. Swensen Free Press, 2000 A Great Investor Pulls Back the Veil on One of the Best Run Endowments Swensen is certainly one of the brightest minds in institutional money management. In a world where there are ten million books on how to pick stocks, trade options, or some other get rich quick scheme, finally a great investor shows the methodology of how significant wealth should be managed. This book is a must read for anyone who manages or invests significant money, even if it isn't ...             Active Portfolio Management: A Quantitative Approach for Producing Superior Returns and Controlling Risk8 reviews Richard C. Grinold, Ronald N. Kahn McGraw-Hill, 1999 This is the seminal text for Quantitative Finance If you work for one of the top alpha quant shops (Barclays, Goldman, etc.), this text is a the proverbial must read. These are the guys that essentially invented quantitative finance in its modern form, building upon the [only somewhat applicable] concepts of Sharpe and Rosenberg and demonstrating how they can be harnassed to drive alpha.

Hawk Prentice Hall, 2004 Five-Star Guide A great guide for student teachers and tenured teachers alike. Great guide for layout and format, what to include as well as what to exclude. Easy to use format where you don't have to sit and read, you can flip to where you need to and start. It offered a great deal in the development of a standards-based portfolio which can easily be adapted to a traditional portfolio. I definitely recommend it ...             The Intelligent Portfolio: Practical Wisdom on Personal Investing from Financial Engines8 reviews Christopher L. Jones Wiley, 2008 Easy read with great investment advice This book was well written and easy to read. The author makes the case that we would need about 1500 years of stock market return data to be able to predict stock market returns within +/- 1% with high confidence. Since we only have about 100 years of reliable data, we can predict within +/- 4% of the long term historical average. Over long 25 year time periods, stock market returns can vary ...             Quantitative Equity Portfolio Management (McGraw-Hill Library of Investment and Finance)9 reviews Ludwig B Chincarini, Daehwan Kim McGraw-Hill, 2006 Thorough and Readable I purchased this book to focus on two broad areas: portfolio construction and backtesting. I was not disappointed--both sections were excellently presented. Written in clear, precise prose (no theory obfuscation) and then illustrated with rigorous formulas and copious examples. I found the treatment of factors especially well done from identifying their suitablity to their use in screening and ...             The Principal Portfolio1 review Genevieve H. Brown, Beverly J.
