Stock Profits Getting to the Core--New Fundamentals for a New Age

"When it comes to analyzing the financial statements of today's publicly listed companies, investors often discover that the truth is an enigma wrapped in mystery. Michael Thomsett's book helps investors to peel away the confusion and get to the core of what really matters." -Michael J. Panzner, former Vice President, Equities, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and Author of The New Laws of the Stock Market Jungle "Reported earnings are not always what they seem! In today's investment arena, investors need to stay informed to sustain acceptable returns. Core Earnings is a terrific tool that aids investors in better understanding a company's true financial position, as well as identifying real earnings drivers." -Rudy Morando, Analyst, TMNG Strategy "Fundamental investing is the approach used by most individual investors and professional money managers, and it is a way of revealing the worth of a company's stock.
