Book excerpt: This is an innovative way to see through a company's published numbers to discover its true investment potential. This book gives you a blueprint for finding a great growth stock for the next decade without taking on a lot of risk in the process. Inspired by the writings of Benjamin Graham, "It's Earnings That Count" examines a firm's earnings quality from the perspective of a "defensive" investor who wants to avoid committing ruinous mistakes, as well as the "enterprising" investor who seeks Wall Street's next great opportunities. Unfortunately, as recent market history has shown, the traditional income statement is ill-suited to meeting the needs of these sometimes opposing viewpoints. As a result, investors can buy shares of a seemingly profitable company that, in fact, has poor earnings quality. However, the author's trademarked Earnings Power Chart combines Graham's two personalities to reveal, in picture form, whether a company possesses authentic earnings power for long-term growth. Using the world-famous William Wrigley Jr. Company gum-maker as a case study, you will learn how to build these two alternate profit-and-loss statements to protect yourself. Since this book is written in plain English, you do not need to be an MBA or accountant to follow these step-by-step instructions. Giving investors the tools they need to turn the tables in their favor, "It's Earnings That Count" covers: the four limitations of the income statement found in every annual report, 10-K, and 10-Q A quick-hitting, five minute test to sift out the obvious losers so you can save time and focus on analyzing potential winners; how to spot when a company is forging an Earnings Power Staircase - that's your hallmark of a low-risk growth stock like Microsoft and Paychex; why the charts of Lucent Technologies, WorldCom, Enron, and Tyco signaled trouble ahead of traditional income statement. It also includes: the 2 earnings power ratios you need before making your next investment; 12 ways to check whether management's interests are aligned with yours; a list of 15 items to check for to make sure the companies in your stock portfolio have a competitive advantage. (Hint: great growth stocks always have competitive advantages.); 16 kinds of companies to avoid; 20 indicators that it may be time to sell. "Well-written, intellectually sound, "accessible" to those who take the time to understand, and a poke in the eye to those who abused our capitalistic system and those (pros) who let them get away with it."--John C. Bogle, the founder and former CEO of The Vanguard Group. "In a single, easy to use index, Hewitt Heiserman captures the essence of growth and value - a most insightful approach to stock picking."--Charles W. Mulford, co-author, "The Financial Numbers Game", Director, DuPree Financial Analysis Lab and professor of Accounting, Georgia Institute of Technology. "Clear and engaging, Heiserman shows how to easily evaluate a growth company's investment potential for both conservative and aggressive investors. The result - the 'cautiously greedy' investor wins." - Tom Jacobs, Senior Analyst, "The Motley Fool". "Heiserman's unique and thorough analysis not only provides methods for avoiding companies with suspect earnings, but also uncovering the true gems that are able to grow well into the future." - Timothy M. Mulligan, J.D., LL. M., CPA., CEO, Forensic Advisors, Inc. "Hewitt Heiserman's innovative financial analysis techniques goes a long way towards providing an investor with an extra edge in identifying the growth stocks of tomorrow without being unduly exposed to excessive investment risk today." - Thornton L. Oglove, founder, Quality of Earnings Report. "This book lays the groundwork for becoming a successful long-term investor." - Mark Sellers, Equities Strategist & Portfolio Manager, Morningstar, Inc. "As an avid reader of investment books, I recommend this book wholeheartedly." - Arne Alsin, Real Money.com and The Turnaround Fund. "In a clea.

Download or read book It S When You Sell That Counts written by D L Cassidy and published by . This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success in the stock market is only partially governed by which shares you buy, and when you buy them. The fact is that you actually realise your profits only when you sell. Fear, greed, and just plain confusion lead millions of investors to postpone selling their shares almost indefinitely, or at least till long after the right time is over. While most investment books tend to deal primarily with the buying of shares, It's When You Sell That Counts focuses exclusively on the neglected but equally critical second side of the coin-selling: How to deal with your emotional barriers to selling; How to set your selling price targets; How to time your sales in a bull market; Selling versus holding in a bear market; Special rules for selling low-priced shares. Failure to sell at the right time is all-too-common a pitfall. Donald Cassidy's book will help you sell your shares profitably and turn your stock market success into a reality.
Download or read book Who s Counting written by John Fund and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2012-08-14 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2012 election will be one of the hardest-fought in U.S. history. It is also likely to be one of the closest, a fact that brings concerns about voter fraud and bureaucratic incompetence in the conduct of elections front and center. If we don't take notice, we could see another debacle like the Bush-Gore Florida recount of 2000 in which courts and lawyers intervened in what should have involved only voters. Who's Counting? will focus attention on many problems of our election system, ranging from voter fraud to a slipshod system of vote counting that noted political scientist Walter Dean Burnham calls “the most careless of the developed world.” In an effort to clean up our election laws, reduce fraud and increase public confidence in the integrity of the voting system, many states ranging from Georgia to Wisconsin have passed laws requiring a photo ID be shown at the polls and curbing the rampant use of absentee ballots, a tool of choice by fraudsters. The response from Obama allies has been to belittle the need for such laws and attack them as akin to the second coming of a racist tide in American life. In the summer of 2011, both Bill Clinton and DNC chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz preposterously claimed that such laws suppressed minority voters and represented a return to the era of Jim Crow. But voter fraud is a well-documented reality in American elections. Just this year, a sheriff and county clerk in West Virginia pleaded guilty to stuffing ballot boxes with fraudulent absentee ballots that changed the outcome of an election. In 2005, a state senate election in Tennessee was overturned because of voter fraud. The margin of victory? 13 votes. In 2008, the Minnesota senate race that provided the 60th vote needed to pass Obamacare was decided by a little over 300 votes. Almost 200 felons have already been convicted of voting illegally in that election and dozens of other prosecutions are still pending. Public confidence in the integrity of elections is at an all-time low. In the Cooperative Congressional Election Study of 2008, 62% of American voters thought that voter fraud was very common or somewhat common. Fear that elections are being stolen erodes the legitimacy of our government. That's why the vast majority of Americans support laws like Kansas's Secure and Fair Elections Act. A 2010 Rasmussen poll showed that 82% of Americans support photo ID laws. While Americans frequently demand observers and best practices in the elections of other countries, we are often blind to the need to scrutinize our own elections. We may pay the consequences in 2012 if a close election leads us into pitched partisan battles and court fights that will dwarf the Bush-Gore recount wars.
