The portable financial analyst

the long version

"The Portable Financial Analyst, Second Edition is a comprehensive collection of financial insight and advice that addresses the heart of every investor's and analyst's dilemma: how to make decisions in the face of unknown forces and how to assert some control over the outcome. Originally covered as columns in the Financial Analysts Journal, these self-contained chapters address often controversial and difficult quantitative topics without the technical jargon and mathematical symbolism that often permeate other writings. With a high degree of lucidity and impeccable logic, Kritzman shows you how to employ the tools of mathematics, statistics, and common sense when evaluating past results and projecting future performance."--BOOK JACKET.
