so this book isn't really edited or structured well, there's a lot of repetition and a few errors (i.e. for the cash flow rating of 12.5 and above i think he means price to cash flow ratio not "cash flow per share ratio" - cash flow per share is a dollar value per share not a ratio. price to cash flow uses market cap, not share price.)

all that being said, we get an easy to read, specific set of instructions and a rating system based on a researched set of variables he has found to work best. i liked the structure and simplicity of a rating system when dealing with so many unknowns, and i value the combination of fundamental and technical analysis which i don't see a lot of though it seems like a no brainer to me. i have yet to finish the book and have only read the actual strategy itself at this point but i got some significant value out of it. a lot of times these books are super dense and not interesting but i found this to be an easy to grasp approach.
