Customer Reviews

tons of info in VERY useful format

I love owning this book and I generally buy the new edition every year. My investment company offers the S & P reports on their website, but I like to own the book so I can easily browse it, mark it up, flag specific stocks with Post-It-Notes, and so on. I focus quite a big on Standard & Poor's proprietary "investability quotient percentile" [IQ]for my buy-and-hold stock decisions. (I also take a careful look at the ten-year dividend history.) You will also find five-star buy vs sell ratings, target price and when set, earnings/dividend rating, fair value, volatility, relative strength, key stock statistics, dividend data, and LOTS of other information. There is quite a bit of interesting and well-written prose about each company, too---it's not all charts and numbers.

dunk shot

its S & P -- 'nuff said. The CFA level analysis of the 500 most watched companies in the US is astute and pithy. If you're looking for a comprehensive review of those stock's pros and cons, pick up this book.

excellent reference

An excellent reference for any investor, lists all of the s & p 500 with all necessary data for research. Truly a must have for the investor who wants to make money.
