3.0 out of 5 stars
Decent reference for practical financial analysis techniques,
By A Customer
This review is from: HANDBOOK FINANCIAL ANALYSIS FORECASTING & MODELING (Paperback)
This book is useful for looking up not just formulas but valuation methodologies in a hurry. However most of the techniques, though illustrated well, do not go very deep. This book is probably good for beginners in finance. Experienced readers may be served better by other publications. All in all, I found this text useful as a quick and easy "boiled down" reference guide for models, formulas and valuation techniques.

Not good,

This review is from: Handbook of Financial Analysis, Forecasting and Modelling (Paperback)
Frankly, I'm embarassed for the authors. I have the second edition, and it is rife with errors. It just illustrates what a PhD is worth these days. I held out hope that the enclosed CD would have a spreadsheet of value (as it implies in the text) but all that is included is the book in PDF format. Thanks guys, that's helpful! Your next book should be titled "How to lie on the cover about the contents".I just don't know at whom they are targeting this book. Too basic for anyone in finance with a semester of accounting under his/her belt, maybe it's for kids in high school in Junior Achievement? People running Kool Aide stands? I think we all know the market -- their students who are hosed into buying it. Click another link to get away from this book as fast as you can, so my suffering is for a purpose.

A a good book which needs to be updated,
By A Customer
This review is from: HANDBOOK FINANCIAL ANALYSIS FORECASTING & MODELING (Paperback)
This is a good book which contains financial formulas and many examples of business analysis. The chapter on spreedsheets is badly outdated. This detracts from the book because business analysis is now all about spreadsheets. The short chapter on outdated financial programs detracts from the book. Their are other, better, books now available.To be fair, the book covers a very complete collect of business analysis precedures and still is a good reference.
