Editorial Reviews

Review

After all that has happened over the past few years, the EDGAR Online Guide finally helps investors think for themselves. -- Vance Wells, Founder, CallStreet LLC, March 2004

If you're interested in correcting the mistakes many investors made in the late 90s, then this is your book. -- Nathan Richardson, General Manager, Yahoo! Finance, March 2004


Product Description

Despite the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley, navigating through a company’s financial statements can still be a tricky proposition. The EDGAR Online Guide to Decoding Financial Statements covers not only how to find the red flags but also how to find the signs of underlying financial strength. It is absolutely critical to have the necessary tools for effective analysis. Clear and accessible, written in an easily readable, step-by-step style that hits every key element, this book gives you those tools. It will not be long before you can easily maneuver through financial statements. There has not been a relevant financial statement analysis book for the average investor since early 2001 and investing has changed markedly since then.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading for anyone investing in the stock market!!!, April 20, 2004
By "capitaltransactions" (Boulder Creek, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Decoding Financial Statements has a rare combination of wisdom, pertinent, interesting, real world examples, and tips/tricks that are not normally available to the retail investor. Any analyst, portfolio manager and individual investor will learn about a tremendous wealth of current and historical case study examples that illustrate how financial information (reports and press releases) drive stock market prices and valuations.

The big bonus is that this book is NOT written by a CPA, but has a humorous, tongue-in-cheek tone. This makes it entertaining and informative, regardless of your level of knowledge or interest in financial statements, per se.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Reference Guide, April 9, 2004
By Nimish Patel (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
I am a corporate securities attorney in Los Angeles and a former CPA. I found this book to be the perfect guide for any business attorney, accountant or anyone involved in running a public company. The book is easy to read and understand and is well organized as a go to reference guide.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay Book, Not Really Filling ..., February 9, 2006
By BK "oradbadev" (SOMERVILLE, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
I bought the book after reading the other 5 star reviews.

The author describes various items about financial statements. What's really missing is good comprehensive test cases - where he can walk us through applying what was being explained.
It was way too much money for what is being offered. I learned much more from MorningStar Classic "The five rules of successful stock investing" for a fraction of price.
