www.amommystory.com Review:

This book followed the CPT book exactly. We covered the entire CPT book in one quarter. Tough class, but provided a very thorough look into the coding profession.

I was more interested in an analytic approach to portfolio optimization and picked this book up for a quick introductory guide to the market. I found the first 160 pages or so to be very helpful at introducing terms, metrics, & industry standards (although extremely dumbed down at times). The back half is a little repetitive, outlines various resources available (including a never ending advertisement for value line). Overall a good introductory read for the low price but lacking in any real analytic substance though I don't think the book claims to have any. In retrospect I think rereading the front half of the book would have been more valuable than reading the back half.
