Pretty Worthless Book...Disappointing
I have never written a book review before, but I felt compelled to finally write a review. I bought this book based on the author's apparently positive reputation and the 30+ Five-Star reviews the book received. I suspect this is a new book and those Five-Star reviews are all from the author's personal friends! This book is disappointing: it is 95% filler and meaningless words. For example: what does several pages on the history of cancer have to do with picking stocks!?
Here, let me summarize the most important things for you: use stock screeners (but, she doesn't tell you which ones) to find stocks with LOW Price/Book ratios (Less than 1) and LOW Price/Sales ratios (even those less than 0.5)...that also have HIGH Revenue and Earnings/Share Growth Rates, Returns on Equities (ROE), etc.
Finally, the author's "magic" website that she gives you access too is: [...] Check it out for yourself. Do you see anything particularly innovative on this website? I don't. Of course, you will have to enter your personal information to access her truly "brilliant" advice so she can, no doubt, continue to spam you with more advertising on something else she wants to sell you.
There...Done. I just saved your $15.00 Your welcome.
