4 out of 5 stars More than a "StudentAid"   November 11, 2007
This book, authored by the excellent M/s Fraser & published by StudentAid, will be useful both to the successful student and/or the less experienced practioner because it acts as a refresher for those whose student days are almost forgotten as well as a pathfinder for those who want to move on from the banal student text books offered by others. I teach financial analysis and unhesitatingly recommend this to all but the most experienced or competent as a welcome opportunity to learn. Each chapter culminates with a series of questions increasing in difficulty. There are useful hints as to where to find raw & comparative data & some good case studies. For the more experienced, perhaps this will be a little undemanding, in which case try "Financial Statement Analysis & Security Valuation" by Stephen Penman or one of the excellent books by Comiskey & Mulford.


4 out of 5 stars Good text   October 19, 2007
I bought this for a university class, but it does not read like a textbook. It was very easy to understand to read and concepts are clearly explained. The supporting website contains a good template for beginning financial analysis.
