68/100
👎 Skip It
Lisa Holton gives you a clear, non-intimidating entry point into Graham-and-Buffett-style value investing, complete with real worked examples pulling apart actual financial statements. The specific company examples are dated to 1999, but the underlying formulas and philosophy for spotting undervalued stocks still teach well today. A solid beginner primer if you go in knowing the examples are vintage.
