What I Learnt As An Analyst - 2nd Edition: Sharing of experience in investment and analysis

by Peter Lim Tze Cheng

What I Learnt As an Analyst – 2nd Edition by Peter Lim Tze Cheng is not a get rich quick scheme nor is it a book on secret tips and tricks. This book on investment and analysis provides investors with valuable knowledge of analyzing companies. The knowledge that generally comes with years of experience. The author was not afraid to put out hard-hitting truth about investing in companies. He enlightens his readers on investment by owning up to his own mistakes. A point that he has made numerous times throughout this book is that there is no one way to go about investing. This book is based on the experiences and ideas of one man. A very raw piece of work on investment for professionals of the field and newcomers alike.

I have expected something more, but this book is as basic as basic can be. It could be a good read for a complete newbie, although the title is a bit misleading. You can find the content by googling and you definitely do no need to be an analyst to learn those stuff in the book.

It is divided into 2 sections, one section talks about unit trust and the other section talks about stocks. Basic stuff.

Read it as it appears on my feed as a recommended book.

All the complex concepts demystified. I would recommend for beginners in investing especially value investors to have this book by their side all the time. I use this book to look up for stuff that I find hard to understand even after Googling it. At least now I don’t get intimated with all those financial jargons when a book like this can explain those things to a layman.

Great read for those who are starting to explore the world of investment analysis. A lot of us are just starting on this journey during the pandemic so coming across this book was extremely timely for me. It shares about everything from the fundamentals of financial analysis to his own, more sensitive opinions that sometimes go against the hyped up versions of how to invest.

A perfect book for both beginners and seasoned investors, Peter Lim really took the effort to breakdown the most tedious and complex accounting concepts and financial statement analysis in the most layman way possible. True to his nature, it also contains some of his honest revelations about his challenges and failures in investment (even as a star fund manager) without much sugarcoating. A must have for all new investors!

Amazing book. For those who want to be an expert. Peter is an expert.

How he wrote the book like teaching for his children and grandchildren.

He is authentic and experience packed book.

Pick it and have a read. Plus. None of the income from this book goes to him. Salute.
