Rating: - Judge by the results...
This book is fantastic. It covers all the basic fundamentals, provides resources to learn more about every area, and covers every broad aspect of evaluating a company.

It's obvious the writer didn't intend for the book to be read cover-to-cover, but when you're 5 pages into a chapter and it refers you to earlier in the same chapter, it's serious overkill.
Browsing through popular stock sites such as Google/Yahoo Finance, you wind up with an alphabet soup of financial ... Read More
