This is by far my favorite book on value investing. A lot of books have been written on the subject, but a lot of them lack practical ability, especially in this internet era. This book came in as a huge help for me. Phil his tables on the growth numbers (eps, sales, cash, debt, ...) are simply great. They allow me to analyze a company its fundamental is a quick and detailled way.I've also red the investment classics on value investing, like the Intelligent Investor an Security Analysis, but this one is just much more helpful to the modern investor. Phil tells you were to find all the numbers to do your analysis, and he also gives you the calculation methods. Since I've red this book, I have made a spreadsheet for myself retrieving all the numbers from msn and yahoo automatically into excel. Very handy.The writing style of the author is also very nice, I had a great time reading this book. Highly recommended!
