Dr. Cheryl L. Atkinson:

As an educator, I highly recommend the book, Fundamentals of Investments in U.S. Financial Markets, by Jack D. Howell, Jr., as a comprehensive educational resource for understanding investments.  He has written, in an easy and understandable way, about many topics associated with investments and the U.S. stock market.

Whereas other authors have devoted their books to a single subject, Howell's goal appears to have been to present a multifaceted, multi-topic approach.  Quite refreshing.  This approach enables students and beginning investors to benefit by providing a holistic approach to investment education.  In addition, the more experienced investor will benefit by using this text as an investment "reference" book allowing the reader to choose specific areas in which they would like to augment their investment knowledge.

Again as an educator, I believe this book can be utilized as a textbook for high school, college, and graduate students; as an invaluable education tool for the general public; and as a reference book for the more experienced, even professional investor.

I therefore, strongly recommend Howell's book as the book of  "choice" for gaining knowledge of the U.S. financial markets.  The benefits will accrue... for a lifetime.
