Title: Worse than Useless
Product review: I ordered this book as part of my continuing professional education requirement to retain my CPA certification.Pros: The author does include some useful (if basic) information about the styles of equity investments (what exactly is a "Value" stock, anyway?), some decent trading rules, and does make some very prescient comments about the fact that "investment analysis" provided by Wall Street is often either self serving or wrong....Con: Warwick does a disservice to the investing public by suggesting that they can beat the pros by 7-13% by using (his) stock screening software. Do your own due diligence: either pick an industry (perhaps the one you work in) and get to know it intimately, or bet on the broader markets with sector funds and an investment advisor you know and trust, or both. This book is in the same category as the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" series of books: Investment porn that feeds the fantasy that you can do it better than everyone else.
