Description: This book gives
any investor the ability to protect him-or herself in this uncertain
environment by using financial statements as a weapon. Becoming a
"financial detective" doesn't require any understanding of
accounting, mastery of obscure language, or the ability to read the fine print
without a microscope.
In just five minutes, you can learn:
- How to spot
the tricks modern companies use to boost revenue totals, artificially reporting
top-line growth.
- Where to find
all the places companies put acquisition gains and losses, either hiding bad
investments or bolstering operating results with one-time items.
- How to compare
the income statement, cash flow statement, and balance sheet to judge the quality
and predictability of earnings.
- What "pro
forma results," "EBITDA" and "goodwill" are, and what
they can reveal...or hide from you.
- How to tell
when even an "honest" company is feeding you information that's not
entirely accurate or forthcoming.
