You can make a ton of money trading or investing in stocks…….. and in short time! You can learn how to invest and find the very best stocks….. and it’s not that difficult! You can remove the complex jargon of Wall Street…… and replace it with five simple steps to better your life! 5 Simple Steps to Find the Next Top-Performing Stock is a step-by-step guide that teaches you how to find a stock with 100% or more upside by a process of elimination, understanding the simplest yet most important valuation tools, knowing when a stock-moving headline will lead to more than a one-day pop, and how to spot top visionaries with a plan that will make you rich! But, more importantly, the investment strategy closely follows the criteria that Brian Nichols has used to find his infamous Value of the Year stock selections, meaning it’s time-tested, and proven, as Nichols uses well-documented stories and examples throughout the book to prove each point and take the reader through a visually stimulating and thought provoking journey to an end where stock investing and trading will become second-nature. The key to experiencing this kind of success is discipline, knowing what to look for, when to buy and sell, and to have a systematic approach that will yield large returns time-and-time again. For many years Nichols has followed this same strategy discussed in 5 Simple Steps to Find the Next Top-Performing Stock, but didn’t realize it. It wasn’t until after this first book, "Taking Charge with Value Investing (McGraw-Hill, 2013)" was published that he began to receive emails, asking exactly HOW TO select those top-performing investments that yield such large returns? This very important question, pondered by so many, led to this illustrative guide, steps that all successful investors follow, and likely without knowing it. You can then take the information and apply it to find top-performing stocks. An informative, simple, and quick-to-read publication that will leave you with few questions, more answers, and an understanding of exactly what needs to be done in order to find the best possible investment opportunities with the most upside

The book has some good points but it is poorly written. With a title including the phrase "five simple steps," one would think that the book provides a simple list of five steps, yes? It does not!
Indeed, the five simple steps are none of the above - neither five, nor simple, nor steps. The 'steps' would better be referred to as indicators to look for, factors of change, and/or requirements to be present in that next top-performing company — in parallel, not in series.
Regrettably, although the points are excellent, the haphazard presentation makes them needlessly difficult to understand. The author is obviously a very intelligent person, but he should have gotten help putting this 'book' together. Rewritten, it could be a five-star gem.
