You do not pick up this book to get "tips" on making an easy million. It does not teach you how to chart nor pick a value/momentum stock based on fundamental analysis.

It does, however, teach you about the foundation of modern investment theory and concepts. William Sharpe is a professor at Stanford and a Nobel Prize winner in 1990, along with Markowitz, for portfolio theory. Sharpe later extended this and introduced Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and it is explained as part of a lesson in this book. Their work is THE fundamental investment Asset Pricing Model.

As others have mentioned, to get the most of this book, you need some understanding of investments and a solid understanding of statistics. With these in hand, you will gain knowledge from this book. It is not an easy read and it used in graduate schools (I used it while obtaining my MBA), but Sharpe does an excellent job at explaining and illustrating investment concepts.

If you want to create deeper understanding of investment knowledge and really want to know investments, this is your book. For example, instead of just knowing that diverification is important, know how diversification works.

I use this book for my Investments course at Dartmouth, and I find it to be a very useful companion text. It is extremely comprehensive, with sections on pretty much everything you would want within this sphere. it is also relatively readable, with a logical layout and good explanations for most of the main points.

The downsides is that it is very expensive, although no ore so that other similar texts. Overall, it comes very recommended for those who wish to develop a strong understanding of capital markets and investing.
