Rating: - Overall a bit sloppy.
This book is an introduction to Value Investing. The book gives you an overview of what you need to understand, but it will not make you an expert, and it will not serve as a reference manual either (which it claims to be). The book does have its good points, but it is overall a bit sloppily written. If the authors were to fix some of the issues I describe next, I would give this book 4 or maybe even 5 stars instead. In the meantime you may instead want to consider the book: Getting Started in Value ... Read More

However, to use the Quicken Stock Analyzer, you need to be a member. To get a Quicken.com Member ID, you need a current version of Quicken 2001, 2002, 2003 ... Read More

Rating: - Nothing Better--For Beginners
After reading many books on Warren Buffett and, more broadly, on the subject of value investing, I still found myself a bit lacking in how to identify the true worth of a business. The reason for this was that many of the books assumed more than, in fact, I really knew.

(This is not to say that such books were of no value to me or won't be for you. It is simply stating the obvious: without a solid grounding in how to evaluate, and quantify, what any of the businesses I looked at were worth, ... Read More
