Product Description
Review
"Mike Cahill has written the definitive guide to deciding whether or not to buy a share. Thorough, well-researched and clearly written - this is a long overdue return to common sense investing. Just what you would expect from a professional analyst who believes that in the long run a company's share price is determined by its fundamental value."Tom Stevenson, Hemscott PLC "A welcome, well structured and commonsense approach to the black art of equity analysis that will be extremely useful to anyone interested in how the City values companies in practice".
Derek Higgs, Author of the Report on The role and effectiveness of Non-executive directors

Product Description
Getting to the real value of a business and assessing what its shares are really worth suddenly looks less clear cut. In an investment environment that is extremely challenging even for experienced City professionals, doing your homework has never been more important. And with the current accounting scandals rocking confidence and the markets being able to accurately value copmpanies, stock has just taken on a whole new dimension. The book goes beyond investment ratios to explore what these ratios tell us about the company as an investment or what the ratios tell us about the stock market's assessment of the company and it's prospects.

Format:Paperback
Putting money in the stock market now seems fraught with danger but this book holds your hand and leads you along the often dark paths of successful equity investing.
Crucially, this book helps you to decide on the following key questions: What kind of an investor am I? What types of shares would suit me best? How do I find successful companies? What differentiates one company from another? What kind of things do the professionals look for?
The book takes the reader through from a starting position of potentially no stock market knowledge or experience and by the end leaves him or her knowing as much and feeling as confident as seasoned stock market operators.
Highly recommended.

The title of my review says it all. The book is a bit of a grind to read - its a dry subject of course. But it makes the business of valuing shares quite understandable and easy to access. For me it is also a good reference book, one to return to when you forget things. For anyone thinking of investing their own money (which I believe is far better than relying on "experts") this is a good spend.

Format:Paperback
Simple easy to understand yet comprehensive for personal interest in investing in shares and companies. No complex jargon or difficult mathematics. Probably not suited for those who want something more complex (eg valuations).
