Maybe a little disappointing when compared against other books I've read in this "Investing In" series, but overall a definitely strong primer for anyone new to the subject. This gets into the real nitty gritty of analyzing earnings reports of individual companies and what to look out for. However it seemed extremely hesitant to name-drop any specific companies as examples (even with a "this will 100% be outdated by the time you're reading this" disclaimer) which was noticeable. And I wish it called out the risks of these new high-yield covered call dividend ETFs like QYLD and JEPI that younger investors seem drawn to.

Still, could've been worse.

I was reading 2 investment books concurrently and I found this book better than the technical analysis book. Stuff I am already familiar with but could do with more advice. It's also lightweight and easy to carry around unlike the other book. It was an informative book but I wish I could learn more.

Right now I'm a little tired with non fiction...I can't wait to get back to novels...

I found this book to be very helpful and informative. It has insights that others divided books I’ve read did not. And, It’s laid out well for future reference.
