Getting Started in Fundamental Analysis 1st Edition

I have studied enormously large textbooks that do not do as good a job as Thomsett at explaining fundamental analysis in a simple and easy to understand manner. Thomsett shows how and why one should conduct fundamental analysis, how to interpret results, how to detect warning signs that the health of a company isn't what it should be, and much more. For the individual investor (even DRIP investors, NOT traders), this is a great book and well worth the money.

I had to buy this book for a class I was taking. I found it really interesting, and something I would recommend to anyone interested in investing and stocks. It gives a lot of information but it does it in a way that is not dry and boring. It is a very well written book.

Great book.

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!

For a book called "Getting Started in Fundamental Analysis", this book contains remarkably little material relating to the subject. It does do a good job discussing the potential pitfalls involved in reading a financial statement. However, it has very little practical advice on actually performing analysis. Overall, the book is poorly organized and poorly edited.I got "Fire Your Stock Analyst!" by Harry Domash at the same time as this book, and found it much more informative.

Item arrived as described. I love it.

I am still learning how to read balance sheets and income statements. This book has advanced my understanding of the subject.

It’s a dry read, but it’s exactly what it says it js. Took me about two weeks of bedtimes and train rides. As a lower level intermediate level “Trader” I’ve always looked for a better understanding of how to dig into the earnings reports because strictly following the charts always felt like more of gamble than it should be. This book has helped me organize and research my trades more like an investigator looking for a good deal rather than trying to read a table as if I were in Vegas. Fundamentals and technicals are not mutually exclusive, the more tools you have the better. If you’re genuinely interested in this stuff give it a go. I’m better for it.
