Clear, easy-to-follow instructions, examples, and case studies focus on the practical mechanics of such key security analysis topics as fundamental and technical analysis, valuation, portfolio theory, fixed-income analysis, and deciphering financial statements. Special workbook sections offer practice problems. PETER J. KLEIN (Melville, New York) is a first vice president at Paine Webber, Inc., where he focuses on managing money for high net worth investors.

It is more a pile of notes than it is a book. It should be edited, thoroughly.
Terrific way for amatures to learn the tricks of the trade

I read an advanced copy of the book. I could not put it down. The author takes complex subjects and puts them in language that even an amature like me can understand. A must read for any investor, professional or amature!

Received preview copy and went through it in two evenings. Happy to see author kept language easy to understand and outline free of side comments, making it easy for the layman to use as a guide. Author is well focused on a subject which can become too complicated in the details. Highly recommend it. HGdeN
