Textbook comes with excellent portfolio simulation -- OTIS5
Contrary to what the Editorial Review above states, this textbook does NOT come with StockTrack. Fortunately, it comes with an excellent program -- OTIS, an Online Trading and Investment Simulator developed at Wharton, the world famous business school. The simulation program allows you to "buy" and "sell" a whole range of real securities, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, EFTs and derivatives, so you can test out the investment concepts from the textbook. It's just like using a program like eTrade, except you don't use real money. You can test out your investment ideas, and the software tracks your portfolio value using real market data.

The Gitman/Joehnk textbook itself is a fine textbook for someone who has not studied investment theory before, and is ideal for personal investors who want a solid foundation in the essential concepts, tools, and latest technologies they need to be successful.

Highly recommended by a Senior Vice President of Investing5
Came recommended to me by a Senior VP of Investments at a large city securities group. Touted as the "bible" of the basics of investing, the market types, and everything needed to understand these markets today. If you need to learn about investing, this should be your ground zero...

Caution4
This book although well written was disappointing because it only covers the fundamentals and the basics of investments and portfolios. I suppose I was looking for something more in depth and challenging and this wasn't the write book. But if you are looking to learn the basics this book seems like a good start.
