Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

"Good investment is often a case of turning conventional wisdom on its head", says Jim Slater in the very first sentence of chapter one. He certainly goes against received wisdom in proposing that small investors eschew diversification and concentrate their energies and their capital on 10 to 12 stocks. However, more than being an extension of the Zulu Principle, this volume serves as a companion to his real magnum opus, Company REFS (Really Essential Financial Statistics).

Slater draws an early distinction between "value" and "growth" investing, but the true underlying contest is between growth investing and the "Efficient Market" hypothesis that holds that "everything that is known about a company" is reflected in the share price. The fulcrum of the argument is that there are growth shares that are underpriced because the market has not yet absorbed available information and consensus forecasts. Beyond the Zulu Principle is dedicated to elucidating and applying the tests for determining whether a growth share has further to run. Much of this book makes compelling and seductive reading although after the initial euphoria, the doubts began to intrude--particularly regarding the theoretical underpinning of the crucial PEG factor--the ratio of the prospective P/E and estimated growth in EPS--which, unlike its constituents, seems to be an arbitrary ratio and does not appear to measure anything. Likewise, some of the author's arithmetic has an engaging seat-of-the-pants frisson.

In the main, Beyond the Zulu Principle is well focused, commendably brief and rarely heavy going. There is one final reservation, however. The usefulness of this volume in the absence of Slater's REFS itself is a moot point. REFS claims to take all the slog out of the testing process, but it costs. Do you sincerely want to be rich? --David Meyer --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Terry Bond, Proshare

Beyond The Zulu Principle is easy to read, understandable, enjoyable and enlightening. The nearest thing to a page-turner the sophisticated private investor will find on the financial bookshelves. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Grand but bland 8 Mar 2004
Format:Paperback
A grand book, but far, far, far too much reference to Company REFS. I would prefer to spend the seven hundred pounds annual fee on buying good stocks. He gives the impression that without Company REFS, you've NO hope of choosing the winners by his method outlined in this book. Would have prefered the first Zulu Principle, as you can make the calculations from the Annual Reports. By all means it's a good method, but come on Jim, cut out the Company REFS stuff and help us to pick winners by this method by relating to the Annual Report. Be warned as well: many Fools on this site thinks the Slater bubble has burst. Think before trying this method!

Jim Slater writing is again clear and convincing.
In this book he reviews his ideas stated in The Zulu Principle, weighting again his key variables according to the newly acquired experience.
His chapter on technology stocks is also very welcomed.

By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This follow up to the Zulu Principle has more in-depth anaysis of how to evaluate a company and pick market leaders. It lists, step by step, exactly what to look for in a company that has sound fundamentals. Many of these measures are quite simple to calculate, while others are more complicated. However, Jim Slater writes throughout this book in an easy to understand language and illustrates many business principles that translate into profitability and, ultimately, stockmarket outperformance.
