Good Book for Investors

I bought this book because I was interested in investing in ConocoPhillips when the prices of crude oil started to drop in 2008. This book will not teach you everything about the financial analysis of oil companies, but it will teach you enough to understand how oil companies work. And if you are interested in investing in oil companies, you need to understand how these businesses work. There are different ways to value companies, and I found it very helpful that the authors explain how oil companies can be valued by looking at its assets such as reserves, pipelines, tankers, refineries, and marketing outlets. - Mariusz Skonieczny, author of Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market?
