Reviews about Fire Your Stock Analyst!: Analyzing Stocks On Your Own (2nd Edition) (7):

I teach a software engineering course in Quantitative Investment Modeling. My main course texts are Kirkpatrick & Dahlquist's Technical Analysis and Domash's Fire Your Stock Analyst. I also rely on Damodaran's Investment Fables, Hirsh & Hirsch's Stock Trader's Almanac, Tracy's How to Read a Financial Report, Shadish, Cook & Campbell's Experimental & Quasi-Experimental Designs, and Pardo's Evaluation & Optimization of Trading Strategies. My typical students are graduate students or seniors in software engineering, computer science, business, or psychology. Some of them have trading experience, most have programming experience, all of them are interested in applying research methods to trading models. We do a lot of data mining in the course (it IS a software engineering course), we use a lot of tools, but we also look carefully at the characteristics of individual stocks. My bias as a reasonably successful investor is that technical analysis helps me identify interesting stocks and fundamental analysis helps me decide (from that pool) which ones to actually invest in or trade. Even in fast-turnaround trades, I won't buy (or sell a put on) a stock if I am not willing to keep it for a while if the trade goes against me. I convey that bias to my students and several (definitely not all) consider it carefully in their analyses.

Domash provides an approachable, sensible introduction to fundamental analysis that doesn't oversimplify the problems. I like that he points to sources on the web and makes clear enough what he is looking for that if one source goes away, students can find an alternative. The value of the book is not in these sources, but in what he does with them. Domash's analyses are not always straightforward. It is sometimes very difficult to estimate some parameters because of conflicting or missing information about a particular stock -- hmmm, maybe those are red flags. Domash's analyses don't always lead to converging results--one parameter might point toward a buy, another toward a sell -- hmmm, welcome to the real world of investing. If you could really just do a few calculations and get the "right" answer, everyone would be rich (or really, everyone would do the calculations and they wouldn't be effective for achieving high returns any more). Domash is maybe a little too directive sometimes. Why is 30% a magic number? But once you apply his analysis to real stocks, it becomes obvious that these specific numbers are just heuristics, and just intended as heuristics.

When I first read this book, I wish I had read it when I first started analyzing stocks. It summarized many lessons that I learned the hard way. As a teacher, I find that it helps me organize the learning of my students (the ones who come to me with little or no background in the market) and get to the interesting questions relatively quickly. It is not the ultimate book in valuation, but it is a darned good starting point.

I have read many books from Rule #1 to the Intelligent Investor. This book i would says is somewhere in the middle of that range for content. It tops all investment books I have read so far for its structure and its ability to be comprehensive to all levels of readers.

For those who have read Rule #1 and the Intelligent Investor the above statement will make sense.

For those who have not: Rule #1 is very basic and does not explain why you are looking at certain numbers from a companies financial statements or how some useful ratio is calculated. It just states what you want to see in a small list of variables that affect a companies stock price in the market. The Intelligent Investor on the other hand is considered a must read for many professional stock analyst/traders. It gives examples and great detail on how investments (stocks, bonds, treasury notes, etc...) work in relation to their fundamentals. Even that book requires good back ground in knowing fundamental analysis and I find modern examples easier to follow.

Fire Your Stock Analyst in comparison gives two different strategies (Value and Growth). Within these strategies the author has broken down from start to finish how an at home investor can screen for companies that meet those definitions. He also tells why each of his criteria are used and suggests others. He then gives a analytical approach to researching the companies selected based on their business plan, financial statements, and price action. He uses examples from 2009 period so you can follow through with what the authur was expecting to happen based on his analysis with actuals.

This book in my opinion is the best book for someone who is not a professional but wants to begin making a systematic way of reviewing companies to invest in.

Good book if you have time to investigate all aspects of every stock you buy, but I disagree with what was mentioned about how stock analysts are more wired into the market that you and I will ever be. It made me trust projected earnings too much when I was fodder for bad projections.

Hello Everyone,

This book writes, in actionable, plain language how to do your own company analysis, and the whys behind each criterion you work through. Domash also gently applies technical analysis, which I think is the right amount. Domash gives the reader the behind-the-scenes red flags to look out for, looking at the financial statements. But, don't be scared-off by this, it isn't hard at all to figure out...

Regards,

Marc

I like the book. It is concise and doesn't have a lot of unnecessary comments.I have about twenty investment books in my library and I refer to this one more than most.

very informative a lot to learn and use.

Great explanation of evaluating stocks.
So far this book has helped me to learn a few things I did not know. It has given me guidelines when I am thinking of putting my money into a product I am not too sure about. I am not a rank beginner but it starts from the basics and builds up. Enjoying the learning curve.
