Fundamental Analysis for Beginners: Grow Your Investment Portfolio Like A Pro Using Financial Statements and Ratios of Any Business with Zero Investing Experience Required Paperback – August 17, 2022

I was recently told by a friend to purchase a stock, and shortly after I bought some shares (the next day), the price went up $10-$15.I then looked up the science of buying stocks and learned more about the term ‘fundamental analysis’. This book provided me, someone who mainly went with my gut feeling when making a stock purchase, some fundamentals of how to more consistently pick a good company and build my portfolio. I would definitely recommend reading it as a primer. It wasn’t dense but definitely jam packed with great information.

A.Z Penn does a good job explaining the basics of fundamental analysis .... he uses the income statement, the balance sheet, and the statement of cash flows for Amazon... information on ratio analysis is given along with many helpful hints on how to analyze companies, especially if you are thinking of buying stock in those companies.... a few test questions are at the end of the chapters, with the answers given at the back of the book... a link to five free videos is given in the book to help you learn concepts about technical analysis and charting... the book was published in 2022 and is certainly up to date.. with the bear market of 2022 and 2023 well underway, it is increasingly important to be able to value stocks appropriately and to see if the companies have the financial strength to survive this bear market.... fundamental analysis can tell you if you have a reasonable company to invest in, and technical analysis plus overall market conditions can tell you if it is the correct time to buy a stock... 5 stars for A.Z Penn .... steven vig

A. Z. Penn has released Fundamental Analysis for Beginners as a follow-up to Technical Analysis for beginners, but it's really more of a prequel. A numbers nerd like me loves all the charts and formulas, etc. in TAfB, but without a bedrock knowledge of the companies behind those numbers, it's hard to know which numbers and patterns to believe. FAfB supplies that bedrock. Another good subtitle for this book might have been "How to read a financial report with out sucking your brain out through your eyes." If Technical Analysis is the action movie, then Fundamental Analysis is the slow-burning drama that rewards your patience.Basically, if you don't have the patience to read this book, you probably shouldn't be investing in the stock market anyway.

I found this book to be an easy to read, conversational sharing of fundamental analysis concepts and terms to evaluate companies and select stocks for a personal portfolio and what is clear or hiding between stock report figures. The theme is long-term, positive, and realistic to analyze stocks, companies and their management and products for long term investment. There is a nice glossary at the end to define the jargon and each chapter has an optional quiz. I like the personal stories from the author about his approaches and about companies and stock investing history to learn how analysts view reports and select stocks for investment. The chapters are clear with current examples and deep enough to follow successfully but without being too complicated for a new investor to utilize. Overall the book makes it fun to learn about stocks and stock reports.

Every new investor needs to understand the complexities of evaluating a company's value. Fundamental Analysis for Beginners is an outstanding book on determining the value of a company's financial status. As far as I have read, the author simply explains the various tools needed to evaluate a company. He discusses, with shots of humor and knowledge based on copious experience a process for determining if a company is worthy of your hard-earned money. So far, I have made it to just reading the various required financial statements and have enjoyed the journey so far. I will continue to update this review as I move further into the book.

If you're a beginner investor, I highly recommend picking up this book. Any type of investing can be daunting, but AZ Penn helps cut through what's usually very difficult concepts with informative background and explanations.What I like most is that it's easy to follow. I find a lot of investing books jump around a bit. That's understandable since there's so much ground to cover, but AZ Penn clearly outlined this book before he set out to write it. It's extremely comprehensive and detailed, without it feeling like it's overbearing. I also like the quizzes, which help to ensure understanding and retention. Fundamental analysis is just that - understanding how to analyze potential investments on a fundamental technical basis. Highly recommended.

Tons of good information along with additional digital content to help newer investors. Once you get the digital content to help aid your learnings he also sends helpful tips and checks in for feedback. I had a question on a area where I was stuck at and he emailed back me the same day answering my question. Well worth the money!

I loved this book. The author took each chapter to explain a different aspect of analysis. The book explained each ratio and then with actual numbers to help check your understanding. This book will not make me a millionaire in the short term but I now understand how to invest with more confidence than speculation in a business.
