Format:Hardcover
One of the top experts in the field, Satya Dev Pradhuman has written an exhaustive study of small-cap investing. While this textbook-style exploration is hardly the place to look for exciting prose, the author does a grand job of harvesting every minute detail of his subject matter, and includes not only the fundamentals, but plenty of practical advice, helpful charts and graphs. We recommend this book to all investors.

This book is ideal for anyone looking for an introduction and explanation into the phenomenon of periods of small cap equity outperformance.
There is really no other book I have come across that is as uptodate and comprehensive as this. It is expensive but then most finance books are.

Do you trust your broker's advice?
4 Jun 2002
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
For the individual investor, I would give this book a single star. I should have seen the warning signs ... "Bloomberg Professional Library" and the author's "views are widely quoted in the financial press." Brokers may find this volume useful in providing market timing and trading strategies that their customers are expecting.
The author targets only subjective and qualitative "insights", with very little data and no statistical analysis. If the author's job title of "quantitative strategist" is to be taken seriously, we would expect some supporting evidence (ie returns data) that the strategies produce results. Show us the yachts.
If you are looking for a quantatative discussion of analysis and models, look elsewhere. Insights in this book impress me as purest hand-waving, and the text is loaded with equivocation, suggestion and speculation.

The most comprehensive book on small caps
27 July 2001
Format:Hardcover
Mr. Pradhuman has done a fantastic and thorough job of explaining everything you ever wanted to know about small cap stocks. Admittedly this book is probably more for professional investors than for individuals, but it is a must if you are a serious small cap investor. When you read this book, you will understand why he is Wall Street's #1 ranked Small Cap Strategist.

Oustanding Overview

Format:Hardcover
I think that too many people invest without thinking why, they do it without a strategy or a framework. This book helps you undertsand the small cap market and guides you in your quest for superior long term returns. If you are looking for the "stock of the day" stay in the chatrooms.
