De la solapa interior

There is no magic formula for making money. But hidden inside the financial statements of all companies is a wealth of information.

To preserve and grow your precious capital, you need to be able to dissect a company before you invest. You need to find those companies that have hidden value and - just as important - learn to avoid those flashing 'danger' signs.

Peter Temple is a highly experienced investment analyst, a down-to-earth financial journalist, and a successful private investor. In this book he:
* explains the investment jargon you read in the financial pages
* tells you in plain language how to calculate financial ratios - those all important 'magic numbers'
* gives clear worked examples of them from the accounts of real companies including Yahoo!, McDonald's, NTT DoCoMo, and BP
* shares with you his 30 years' experience of how to interpret the numbers
Magic Numbers is the essential guide to making objective judgements about companies and their shares. If you don't want to see your money cut in half or vanish altogether, we strongly recommend you read this book.
