Fire Your Stock Analyst!: Analyzing Stocks On Your Own (2nd Edition)

Customer Reviews:

I teach from this book

By Cem Kaner, J.D, Ph.D. - November 14, 2011

I teach a software engineering course in Quantitative Investment Modeling. My main course texts are Kirkpatrick & Dahlquist's Technical Analysis and Domash's Fire Your Stock Analyst. I also rely on Damodaran's Investment Fables, Hirsh & Hirsch's Stock Trader's Almanac, Tracy's How to Read a Financial Report, Shadish, Cook & Campbell's Experimental & Quasi-Experimental Designs, and Pardo's Evaluation & Optimization of Trading Strategies. My typical students are graduate students or seniors in software engineering, computer science, business, or psychology. Some of them have trading experience, most have programming experience, all of them are interested in applying research methods to trading models. We do a lot of data mining in the course (it IS a software engineering course), we use a lot of tools, but we also look carefully at the characteristics of individual stocks. My bias as a reasonably successful investor is that technical analysis helps me identify interesting stocks and... read more

Great Investment Book for people who want to analyze companies before buying

By Jeremiah Headrick - November 18, 2010

I have read many books from Rule #1 to the Intelligent Investor. This book i would says is somewhere in the middle of that range for content. It tops all investment books I have read so far for its structure and its ability to be comprehensive to all levels of readers.

For those who have not: Rule #1 is very basic and does not explain why you are looking at certain numbers from a companies financial statements or how some useful ratio is calculated. It just states what you want to see in a small list of variables that affect a companies stock price in the market. The Intelligent Investor on the other hand is considered a must read for many professional stock analyst/traders. It gives examples and great detail on how investments (stocks, bonds, treasury notes, etc...) work in relation to their fundamentals. Even that book requires good back ground in knowing... read more

Clear, concise explanations with actionable recommendations

By Robert G. Forsythe "geoengineer" - September 12, 2010

This is a thoroughly refreshing book that offers clear understanding of fundamaental analysis. As with another reviewer, I am primarily focused on the technical side however this book opened a new door for me. The best thing is that he explains how to get information (provided free on websites) and do your own analysis. It's nice to see a comprehensive book that doesn't try to sell you something along the way (recommendations, data services, etc.)
