Fundamental Analysis Essentials

Master the Art of Assessing a Company’s Value, Reading Financial Statements, Calculating Ratios and Setting a Buy Target

By: Brian Hale

Narrated by: Rush Stone

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.

Invaluable. Thorough. Well written.

I have been involved in building and managing businesses as an entrepreneur for over 30 years, and this is the best audiobook I've ever encountered on analyzing a business from every perspective to ascertain its health and value. This is not a typically "exciting" kind of book, unless you have been around the block a few times and realize the importance and ramifications of truly knowing how to do fundamental analysis of a company before making an investment decision. It also helps from the other side of things to help business owners and managers know how others will view them, and what issues should be addressed before attempting to sell a business. I especially appreciated the chapters on interpreting company financials, and various valuation models that are employed by savvy investors to determine the real value of a company, both short and long term. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who has an interest in investing.
