[.ca] Fire Your Stock Analyst: Analyzing Stocks On Your Own (ISBN 0130353329)

The best investing book I've come across:
I'm normally not one to take the time to write reviews (this is my first), so that in itself indicates the high regard I have for this book. It is without question the most informative, practical, and enjoyable book about investing and stock valuation that I've come across. I recommend it without any reservations whatsoever.

R.E.Sears, Orinda, CA:
Here is a book that will appeal to any and all investors, professional or novice. Harry Domash has provided us with investment tool that is easy to read and in a concise and well orgainized manner. The chapters on Screening and Analysis are worth the price of the book. I will use it over and over as a very excellent reference book. I have already found several of the websites rcommended to be most helpful in providing the information I needed to make changes in my portfolio.

I have become a fan of this author after reading this book:
I had been looking for a book which should tell me how to select scientifically and step by step,when I could find this book.I have finished my reading and confident that I will be able to select the stocks logically.Once you read this book,you will love the honesty of the author in presenting the material. The disadvantage of the book is that once you read the book,you are in love with his clarity of the selection process.In second thought you realise that the author also publishes a newsletter and can't help but to subscribe.Once one subscribe,I fear,one may become complacent and get the feeling why to break one's head with all the steps in selecting the stock as mentioned in the book,just buy what has been recommended in the newsletter.I am struggling not to follow the same. I guess the author has stressed more on fundamentals.I am making, my strategy more risk free by double checking if I need to supplement its chapter on the technical. A favor,I am on the look out of a SIMILAR explicit book on options strategies.If you find a one,then please let me know. dkdhawan@yahoo.com

A thorough, organized method of stock analysis:
In clear prose, Harry Domash lays out a concise step-by-step guide to evaluating and analyzing growth and value stocks. I had no intentions of buying a book when I entered the store, but after looking over this book I was compelled to buy it. Yes! Another one who gladly paid retail. In only a week's time the pages are dog-eared and highlighted. Mr. Domash covers in depth each of the tools you need to find and evaluate good stocks. Not only does he cover the topics you'd expect a book like this to cover--profit margins, ROE and ROA, and inventory and A/R analysis--but he also gives you tools to look at the quality of a company's management, whether it has a solid business plan and whether it's a candidate for bankruptcy, but also some technical analysis tools too. He doesn't stop there though. "Fire Your Stock Analyst!" also gives you a complete tutorial on how you would go about using all the tools he provides to analyze growth stocks and value stocks. Moreover, he shows you exactly where to find all the information you need. And gives you a useful, rational method for valuing the stock, i.e., determining a price to buy at and fixing a target price. This is as complete a process as you could hope to find. Again, the book is well worth the price at retail--and a steal at the discount being offered here!

A First Review Comment:
This is a first review comment upon reading the intro and thumbing through each and every page to the end. Are you ready to quit work to learn Harry's methods? You might just have to in order to find the time to get though this book, as there are plenty of (disorganized) subjects that might just require a Master's Degree to understand. (And this is coming from me, an Engineer/Scientist). Again, this is a first review. Let me try to get though all the mounds of required research and reading to see if there is any truth to his writings. I know that there are plenty of easier ways to pick and choose a winning stock.
