Q: Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: Listen up folks! I too read this book in a couple of hours and ran to log into the magic formula website. I punched in a market cap of 175 million and the very first pick American Service Group (ASGRE) has not only declined 50% in the last 12 months, but filed a 10K in November regarding an internal investigation that led to the firing of its top brass. Another on the list, Jak Pacific (JAKK), is a toy company that is lucky to have an ROA of 8 and a PE of 10.The ROA and PE analysis of companies is a fundamental necessity for anyone wanting to pick stocks for their portfilio, but beware the website...someone is not doing their homework, or it's a scam.D.

A: No

Q: Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: The Quest for Value is a classic work describing the many facets of what creates shareholder value.The first two chapters describing market myths and market realities lay down a basic framework for the rest of the book on the creation of shareholder value.The best topics in the book cover dividend policy, mergers and acquisitions, capital structure, and compensation incentives.In addition, the book spends considerable time explaining the concept of Economic Value Added (EVA). I find these sections of the book less valuable as the examples of how to calculate EVA are extremely simplified. In practice, it is much more difficult to calculate EVA and I find the traditional DCF approach much easier to deal with.Overall, the well written and communicated sections on the creation of shareholder value more than compensates for the weak treatment of calculating EVA. As such, I would recommend this book to any serious student or practitioner of finance. Answer:

A: Yes

Nothing in the instruction manual tells you this and if you don't discover it dirt and mold will grow here. So be careful. Once you discover it you can force it apart and clean it. Answer:
