Publisher's summary

Here’s the “old-fashioned” strategy that billionaire Warren Buffett uses to earn 20 percent returns on his stock investments year after year.

Are you looking for a way to confidently invest in stocks without overpaying?

Do you wonder if it’s actually possible to beat the market?

Do you want a proven step-by-step method that takes the guesswork out of making investment decisions?

Everybody knows there’s money to be made in stocks. But the reality is only a fraction of investors actually turn profits.

If you’re a retail investor with no professional experience…and you don’t have access to all the “insider knowledge” and resources that institutional investors have…you’re more or less gambling your money away.

According to the latest Gallup polls, 58 percent of American adults own stocks. But ask them what types of investments they own, and the majority of them can’t tell you.

Which means millions of individual investors are pouring millions of dollars into stocks they know nothing about.

No wonder why so many retail investors end up losing money.

Because instead of taking charge of their investments…they let professionals manage their money for them. The same professionals who rarely do better than the market — despite having the technical know-how and experience.

But here’s some good news: You don’t need to be a pro investor to make money in the stock market.

Even billionaire investors Peter Lynch and Warren Buffett don’t rely on price charts and fancy indicators to make their picks. Instead, they focus on the fundamentals.

And that’s what this book is for. To show you how you can apply the same time-tested methods to your investment decisions, so you can confidently build your own fortune with stocks.

In this book, you will discover:

  • Nine “murderous” mistakes that kill investments, and how you can avoid them
  • How to find a company’s competitive advantage, and how this affects the value of their stock
  • Three effective methods for figuring out how much a company is really worth, so you can determine for yourself whether a stock is overvalued or undervalued
  • The three most important financial statements to look at when comparing stocks, and what to look for in each one
  • The two key ratios that tell you everything you need to know about a company’s profitability
  • The nine essential skills every investor needs to perform thorough fundamental analysis
  • Which four qualitative factors to study when evaluating a company, and how they can impact the direction of its stock performance
  • How to turn readily available financial data into a company’s “crystal ball” — use these techniques to find long-term winners for your portfolio

And much more!

By the end of this book, you will have a deep understanding of fundamental analysis and how to use it to make informed, profitable investment decisions.

You'll be able to research and evaluate stocks on your own, without relying on the opinion of so-called experts or blindly following the latest trends.

So even if you’ve never invested a single penny in stocks before, this guide will give you the confidence you need to start making your money work for you.

If you’re ready to take control of your financial future and start seeing real returns on your investment, then scroll up and click the “Add to Cart” button right now.

A Game Changer For Sure!

By no means would I consider myself to be an expert investor. However, after this I feel 100% confident in my own investing abilities and have even started a small online stock trading account to manage on my own. I feel like this takes all of the stigmata about investing being difficult and completely negates it. At least it did for me!

I have been though several other books trying to learn to be a savvy investor on my own. But this book is what made things click for me!

I consider this a requirement for anyone who manages their own investment. It should probably be a part of educational curriculum on personal finance too!

Basic Guide to Fundamental Analysis

The author contends that most investors don’t know how the stock market works so they can easily make investment choices that negatively affect their investments. He teaches how even the beginner investor can navigate the challenges of investing in the stock market using Fundamental Analysis.

Hale points out that Fundamental Analysis is a comprehensive tool for short- and long-term analysis. He gives examples of how Warren Buffet, Peter Lynch, and other well-known investors use this method to determine which stocks to buy and the best times to buy them.

Understanding your financial goals and risk tolerance are key when investing in the stock market. There are detailed explanations and discussions of the limitations as well as the benefits of using this method. Hale also discusses different investment strategies, and the benefits and drawbacks of each, and includes an introduction to forecasts and projections and how to use them.

He cautions the investor to be mindful of emotions and biases that can affect investment decisions and demonstrates how Fundamental Analysis provides a solid foundation for informed and rational decisions.

Many more tips and suggestions are offered including perhaps the best advice of all, to never believe a stock tip no matter where you get it but instead to do your own research. Highly recommended.
