5.0 out of 5 stars Hard made easy, June 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Analysis for Financial Management (Irwin/Mcgraw-Hill Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate) (Paperback)

I've done alot of studying of financial statements, but Higgins quickly pointed out some of my flaws in knowledge. He takes difficult material and makes it refreshingly easy. For example, Chapter 4 on sustainable growth is a must read. I never knew a company could grow into bankruptcy. In fact, I had a candidate in my portfolio. He takes balance sheets, income statements and statements of cash flow and writes about them in understandable language.

Well, I've only studied a few chapters in depth. Can't wait to get to the rest of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars A useful handbook that simplifies complex finance, December 13, 1998

bobg@aiminc.com (Norfolk, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Analysis for Financial Management (Irwin/Mcgraw-Hill Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate) (Paperback)

This book was required in my William & Mary MBA program. It covers everything from discounted cash flows to ratio analysis to business valuation. My brother liked it so much he "stole" if for months. I took it back and now he wants it for his Christmas gift. So, here I am buying it for him. The net present value of this book is -- real high:) I highly recommend it for business owners or anyone involved in finance and accounting.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have to learn it, use this book!, July 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Analysis for Financial Management (Irwin/Mcgraw-Hill Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate) (Paperback)

Clearly laid out points (ie four pitfalls, three uses.. etc) but a great touch of wit throughout. "Life is short. Avoid unnecessary complications." was a good reminder about finance and everything. Good, straightforward examples.
