John Slatter has once again written a book that will enhance any newby or verteran stock invester. I admire his humor that coincides with usefull information for stock purchasing and other options. I got hooked on his books about 2 years ago and have had to check them out from public libraries to read them, but once I had the chance to purchase his latest version, I had to just to settle my minds peace over it. Thank you once again. E Scott Hollingsworth

This is a great place to start if you are looking for stocks to buy. It gives a great breakdown of a stocks 8 year history of: >Revenue <br />>Net Income <br />>Earnings per share <br />>Dividends per Share <br />>Highest and Lowest stock price for each year <br />It gives you the basic profile of the company,the shortcomings to bear in mind,and reasons to buy. <br />It is great for ideas on companies to buy with a great overview of the stocks history. It divides stocks into its industry, sector, and category. This book will be useful to use to understand and create a diversified portfolio of individual stocks. <br />But be warned of three things: <br />1). Use this book as a history book not a newspaper, go to Quotes/Yahoo or marketcenter.com for up to date information. <br />2). These are all large cap stocks, this book is not for investors looking for small cap stocks. <br />3) This is a basic beginners book, great for them, but an experienced investor will already have this information from other periodicals and tools. <br /> <br />I personally like to use these books each year to look for value stocks, I have had great fortune buying the stocks that appear in these books that are trading at P/E multiples between 15-20. Also buy these stocks at or near their 52 week low. These companies are solid, buy them when the prices cycle down.
