Recommendation

Everything you need to know about how to value a stock is inside this book - somewhere. Finding it however, can be a problem, as it sometimes seems that the editors used the random dart theory of selection in putting together the chapters. For example, in order to understand the concepts presented in Chapter two, you need information that is contained in Chapters three and five. Once you figure out how to navigate it, though, this book is a valuable resource and a powerful educational tool for investors from neophyte to intermediate. It’s encyclopedic in its scope, and the pages in the included glossary are sure to become dog-eared from use. getAbstract.com recommends this book to investors of all levels. Beginners will learn critical concepts and terms, while more experienced investors will come to rely on this book as a trusted reference companion.

Take-Aways

  • You can be just as successful as the experts at evaluating stocks, if you learn the proper techniques.
  • The idea that chance works just as well as formal stock-value analysis is not true.
  • The safest method for evaluating the value of a stock is Discounted Cash Flow (DCF).
