One of the best basic finance textbooks  March 30, 2011

Mayo is a clear writer who has a knack for making this material easy to understand. You may wish to compare to his other ( less expensive) textbooks that are even more basic and understandable. You should also look at the textbooks written by Bodie, Kane and Marcus. These books are somewhat more technical. I guess that most students using any of these books are only buying what is assigned. Mayo is perhaps the easiest to understand.






Investments An Introduction (with Thomson ONE - Business School Edition and Stock-Trak Coupon): 5 out of 5 stars based on 1 user reviews.
