Description
Book SynopsisThis innovative text presents the theoretical foundations of security analysis and investment strategy, and explores the practical applications of these theories. After establishing an historical foundation, the book examines fixed income securities, equity analysis and investment strategy.
Trade Review“What sets Poitras’ book apart is not only the comprehensive and rigorous treatment of the subject of investments and security analysis but also the way in which he cradles it in its philosophy, history and core theory. I strongly recommend this text for those serious enough to seek an advanced study of the field.”
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 academics think we know with the views on the street. In this it develops those most elusive commodities: wisdom and judgment.” Lawrence Booth, Rotman School of Managment, University of Toronto
