This is an entry-level book for beginners of investing. He highlighted some frameworks to screen stocks. The "buy high, sell higher" thoery is quite interesting. A researcher found stocks that hit their all-time high in the recent 6 months are more likely to keep go up rather than come down.

Your Next Great Stock-Is actually a pretty good book about an under covered topic, stock screens.

There are nearly 5K stocks in the market, so how do you decide which ones to invest time in investigating?

You run stock screens to shorten the list then do some fundamental analysis to decider which ones make the most sense and where to buy them.

The author does a good job of presenting these stock screens. His knowledge regarding the way the “Street” operates and his ability to back his examples up with research is a strong positive.

Normally not my type of book to read. Sent to me by publisher as a review. Good book if you are interested in learning more about stocks and what is going to be happening in that area in the next year.

A well written book with a lot of practical advise. I recommend this for people who don''t have an accounting background and they want to dabble in stocks. Read slowly and prosper.
