5.0 out of 5 stars Useful corporate finance, April 1, 1999

By 

David Coloma ([e-mail]) (Barcelona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Handbook of Financial Analysis for Corporate Managers (Hardcover)

I am happy to have found a book like this. Its explanations have a surgical precission and are superbly structured, leading you to very sofisticated financial analysis tools with easiness. It is completely useful for the professional and the student who want and need to learn about corporate finance with the maximum rigour and depth but also want to avoid losing time in unpractical stuff. I wish I had discovered this book before!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Handbook, June 8, 2001

By 

David Goon Hoong Liang (Penang, Malaysia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Handbook of Financial Analysis for Corporate Managers (Hardcover)

I bought this handbook based on a review by another customer. I found it to fit my purpose and I'm glad to had made the purchase. The handbook is a practical source guide for financial analysts. It is not another academic regurgation found in other texts. The author, Vincent Muro, had brought his diverse experience, knowledge & innovativeness to bear in this practical guidebook for the busy financial practitioner who could use it as a constant reference guide. The text blends well the theory with the practice and offered numerous illustrations. The charts & diagrams in the front & back cover as well as in the text itself puts into perspective how the various financial analysis techniques could be applied. Apart from the traditional techniques, new measures & analytic were offered as well, making this handbook a must-have & a good buy. I think this handbook should have a quick summary at end of each chapters and probably should make use more of visual aids for the busy practitioner, which would make it even better. Nevertheless is deserves a 5-star rating !!!

This review is from: Handbook of Financial Analysis for Corporate Managers (Hardcover)

this book is exemplary of an aristocratic book that has no tangible value for anyone who reads it. As a Financial Analyst I found some of the reading very dull and and unrelated to the topic of financial analysis.
