Half blue cloth, blue paper-covered boards, gilt titles on spine, 440 pp, charts, tables, bibliography, index. Boards slightly faded at edges, corners of about 40 leaves bumped. DJ in Brodart archival cover. This classic book on investing in the stock market carefully examines evidence for the success or failure of various investment strategies, explains the difficulties of application of each, and examines the role of sheer luck in beating the market over various periods. In particular, reasons for the failure of both technical and fundamental analysis are examined in some detail. Compared to the first edition, the fifth edition updates the analysis of the markets through the 1970s and 1980s, greatly expands the treatment of modern portfolio theory and the capital asset pricing model, and looks at some of the challenges to the efficient market hypothesis. It also offers a greatly expanded section of practical advice, retitled "a life-cycle guide to personal investing." Shipping weight 3 lbs. (International 2 lbs., 8 oz.). 5th Ed, 1st Ptg. . Near Fine/Fine. 24 X 16 cm.

Synopsis

A Random Walk Down Wall Street, written by Burton Malkiel, a Princeton economist, is an influential book on the subject of stock markets. Malkiel argues that asset prices typically exhibit signs of random walk and that one can not consistently outperform market averages. The book is frequently cited by those in favor of the efficient market hypothesis. As of January 2008, there have been nine editions.

You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges.
