For readers needing a book that will allow them a basic understanding of financial accounting.

Option Trading Bible.......2007-10-01
Considered by many professionals as the bible of option trading, Options as a Strategic Investment is a must have addition to any serious option's trader. Option trading is widely misunderstood and feared by many stock traders mostly because it takes real effort to really capture the mechanics that is behind this trading form.
This book will help anyone that is beginning in this exciting field to get a grip of all the things that is involved in option trading and is a great reference book for professionals. The lessons are clear and the information is up to date and straight to the point. Studying this book alone or even better...this book with a few other reference books will get you in the right direction of this often misunderstood but highly profitable form of trading. A must buy addition to anyone's trading book collection.
Excellent book!.......2007-09-19
This is an excellent book for the serious option's trader. Very detail and in depth explanation of all different types of option trading strategies. Recommended!
Worth the money!.......2007-06-27
This book is probably the best on the subject. It is usually called the Option Bible. It would be nice if it was updated to reflect some modern trades (e.g. condor).
A Good Investment For Learning More About Options.......2007-06-27
This book is written in clear, easy to understand language with examples that go further to clarify what a specific strategy/technique is. It is not a boring, academic book. The only drawback that I have run into is that the commissions for trades are far in excessive of what is available through internet brokerages. The impact is that sometimes the book will stress that commissions will make a big difference in outcome whereas that is not generally true in my experience. I immediately learned about using in the money covered calls that either produce income or significantly lower the cost per share of a security and profitably but this to use.
Don't EVER do options without this book!.......2007-06-08
After reading The Options Course by George Fontanills, which is a very good book for beginners, you'll want take the next step. This is THE ultimate book on options. It covers absolutely every aspect of options trading. Your mouth will drop after you put your hands on this book. There's a gazzilion ways to cut your risk and maximize profits, and this book reveals every single one in detail. Do yourself a favor and buy this book.
The only problem I see is that the book is really, really boring for beginners and people who are not serious about trading options. I was just learning the basics when I first read it, and it was pretty hard to finish it. Read a couple of other books on options for beginners (like George's) and start paper trading options BEFORE you buy this one. I read a lot of books before I started trading and hated most of them. Now that I know how the real thing works and all the potential, I feel much more compelled to read it all over again.
The book offers an overview of every trade possible, all scenarios and follow-up action. All the examples are very clear and well explained. There's a lot of ways to lock in profits too, all very well described. Even if you've been trading for 10 years, you will be amazed when you read this book. If you read it thoroughly 4 or 5 times a year, there's absolutely no excuse for you not to become a master in options trading. If all the other books are the options college, this is your PhD course.

Customer Reviews:
some information.......2006-10-14
Like most books you do get some information. Pricing was good, but his web-site is unavailable, so who knows
Save your Money!!!.......2004-02-05
This book is awful. I have read the entire thing, and it says nothing that is useful. I have been in public accounting for 10 years, and i am now ready to start my own firm. I wasted my money on buying this book. I know it is tempting to buy, since the title is exactly what i was looking for, but trust me, choose another book. The accounting Guild website that the author constantly refers to is no longer in existence.
Accounting Not! Save your money.......2003-06-13
This book is nothing more than a template or a compilation of numerous other books that deal with marketing, prospecting, and selling. In fact the title is disingenuous. The book should be renamed to "Building, Marketing and Selling Your Business." The fact that the word Accounting appears in the title is misleading as this book could and does discuss the things necessary to starting and building any business.
The book also includes a glossary of accounting terms which is insulting. If you are an accountant purchasing this book you should already know them hands down or seek a refund from the institution of higher learning that gave you your education in accounting or ask your state accountancy board to revoke your CPA certificate.
This book is full of checklists and numerous discussions of what to do but rarely gets to "How" as the outside of the back cover states. While the information is useful it is again generic to any business and not specific to accounting.
The author bets to death the value of using Microsoft products (to the exclusion of others) and goes though a litany of the things that Microsoft uses/provides. I am certified by Microsoft in almost all the things that the author mentions in the beginning of his book and I found the authors marketing plug for Microsoft quite humorous but also very wrong. The author almost gave the impression that he is "in bed" with Microsoft and may even be a Microsoft Certified Solution Provider himself but never really states his relationship to Microsoft. This diatribe should have been in an appendix and not part of the main body of the book.
Another grating plug is the constant mention of the Accounting Guild that the author is involved with. It would have been far more professional to discuss this at length in an appendix rather than constantly marketing it to his readers by repetitive mention of it in the text. One more grate was his constant mention of the Goldmine software for tracking clients without explaining why he thinks it is the best and what is his involvement with it and more importantly why he mentions no other PIM software when he goes though a many page discussion of the various software packages available. It makes me very suspicious.
Also unless you are a firm with at least two or more accountants, two or more marketing people, two or more sales people and the accompanying support staff you are reading the wrong book. You will also have no life.
The author implicating states that unless you are dealing with businesses that are $500,000 to $10,000,000 you are not dealing with a small to medium sized business nor are you one yourself. What a grave insult to small business in general.
I am not attempting to slam the author at a personal level in my review but having read the third edition I am left with the begging question as to what was so wrong with the first two that there is in fact a third edition. After all I was the one that paid for it and I feel that I was stung and strongly so.
This book is basically a written seminar on how to build, market and sell your (any) business accompanied with numerous plugs for the authors products (at least it smells like it). The author did not follow his own advice....be honest with your clients.
I also found his web site for the Accounting Guild inactive and email is not there.
If you are looking for a book to help you build your accounting business this is not it unless you have $$$$$$ capital and staff to do so. The book is definitely not intended for the true small business person.
Save your money.
Buyer Beware!.......2003-06-05
This book is an excellent source for starting an accounting practice. It is very heavy on the aspects of technology and working that into your business to grow clients and business partners.
The caveat here is this. Mr. Fox discusses Arthur Anderson a great deal in this book when referring to ways consulting is performed and how to sell clients. In addition, he refers to his own "Accounting Guild." Unfortunately, the web site for this guild no longer exists, his Yahoo message board is inactive and he does not answer email requesting information on solvency of his own business. Although I am reading this book 3 years after it was published I find it disturbing that the book is still in print yet very out of date and no longer factually correct. i.e Offering services in the Accounting Guild.
It would be nice to at least get an explanation or have the book removed as a valid and complete source, which it no longer is.
Just what I've been looking for..........2001-08-08
Having been recently laid off, I am now looking into starting my own accounting practice. I am a CPA, but have no public accounting experience. I bought this book as part of a CPE course and was truly amazed at the wealth of information it contains, especially on marketing. It gave me some great ideas on areas to pursue and I know I will refer back to it many times over the next few months and even beyond.

Book Description
"All investors, from beginners to old hands, should gain from the use of this guide, as I have."
From the Introduction by Michael F. Price, president, Franklin Mutual Advisors, Inc.
Benjamin Graham has been called the most important investment thinker of the twentieth century. As a master investor, pioneering stock analyst, and mentor to investment superstars, he has no peer.
The volume you hold in your hands is Graham's timeless guide to interpreting and understanding financial statements. It has long been out of print, but now joins Graham's other masterpieces, The Intelligent Investor and Security Analysis, as the three priceless keys to understanding Graham and value investing.
The advice he offers in this book is as useful and prescient today as it was sixty years ago. As he writes in the preface, "if you have precise information as to a company's present financial position and its past earnings record, you are better equipped to gauge its future possibilities. And this is the essential function and value of security analysis."
Written just three years after his landmark Security Analysis, The Interpretation of Financial Statements gets to the heart of the master's ideas on value investing in astonishingly few pages. Readers will learn to analyze a company's balance sheets and income statements and arrive at a true understanding of its financial position and earnings record. Graham provides simple tests any reader can apply to determine the financial health and well-being of any company.
This volume is an exact text replica of the first edition of The Interpretation of Financial Statements, published by Harper & Brothers in 1937. Graham's original language has been restored, and readers can be assured that every idea and technique presented here appears exactly as Graham intended.
Highly practical and accessible, it is an essential guide for all business people--and makes the perfect companion volume to Graham's investment masterpiece The Intelligent Investor.
Customer Reviews:
THE GUY WHO TAUGHT WARREN.......2007-07-09
Graham is the money lord whose writings formed the basis of Warren BUffett's investing tenets. That should be enough of a basis for those pondering buying this book. This guy taught Buffett! On the other hand, the book is a little tedious, and certainly not for the novice investor. I'd say you should be an intermediate level investor, at least, beforing diving into this creaky book. But if you're patient and willing to stay with it, there are certainly some real pearls of investing wisdom between its pages.
For those desiring a more user friendly investing tome try The Millionaire Mind by Standley, the sequel to The Millionaire Next Door. The Millionaire Mind
Review on Interpretation of FS by BGraham.......2007-01-10
It was a basic explanation of the FS suitable for non-accountants. The texts are brief and concise but very informative.
Recommended to lay persons. A classic BG material!
Must read for all amateur investors!.......2006-11-05
After skimming over the pages of Graham's Security Analysis, I decided to buy this smaller book, which was published few years later. I also noticed a recommendation by Joel Greenblatt in his book "You can be a Stock Market Genius".
People with finance/accounting background may not find this book useful. The book focuses more on items mentioned in the balance sheet and income statement. Cash flow statements weren't published during Graham's time. Later on the book gives important guidelines on some financial ratios. It also talks about calculating tangible book value of any company. Although it may not be useful to value technology/internet and asset-light companies, it would still help an investor calculate the real value of a company.
Good value for your money. This concise book is a must read for all amateur investors!
Balance sheet analysis from a master at his trade.......2005-12-19
For the most part I found Graham's book to be very useful. It is a quick and informative read with some insights on how to make heads or tails of what you are looking at with an annual or quarterly report. Although there was some disappointment with the Income Statement explanation (which, honestly isn't terribly hard to understand), as well as his focus on railroad and utility companies (with some focus on bonds and preferred stocks, which I have no interest in), I found this to be very helpful.
On a whole, this book is excellent for the beginning investor. It is a little out of date, but the core information, as well as reading the words of Graham himself, is worth the read. Graham also applies everything he wrote about to a financial statement, showing exactly what to do, which is an invaluable piece of instruction. Definitely recommend, even if it is for the sample balance sheet analysis alone.
Great book for the beginning analyst.......2005-09-06
Very easy to read. Extremely informative concluding chapter where a set of financial statements are analyzed. The sole downside is that some of the jargon and the accounting principles have changed, so updating will be necessary. But this is the place to cut your teeth.
Book Description
This extraordinary guide, now expanded to incorporate the latest in new credit protection laws, tells you all you need to know to maximize your personal credit. Written by nationally recognized expert Gerri Detweiler, it is designed to help you solve your credit problems: whether you have too much debt, not enough credit, or a damaged credit history. It is the most comprehensive and reliable book available on the subject today.
Customer Reviews:
Good, but..........2007-09-14
The book is chock full of useful information. Some is common sense, some not so common. However, it contains little about dealing with the Internet and communicating by email about credit. Moreover, as a man, I didn't appreciate the book's strong tilt toward women. Throughout, the author uses female pronouns and in places villainizes men. No advice for a man whose ex-wife has cleaned him out.
The Ultimate Credit Handbook.......2003-06-05
We used the information outlined in this book and it worked great. We had an old credit issue that dogged us for years. With this credit advise, we were able to deal effectively with AmEx and get incorrect charge-offs against our credit removed. This information is powerful and valuable. We recommend it.
Craig H.
ultimatecredithandbook.......2002-11-19
this book gave me the information i needed to turn my finacial life around. easy to understand the who what where how and why to your credit history and future. if you need help with anything regarding your credit this book is all you need. thank you gerri detweiler.
This book is extremely well written!.......2001-12-05
This book truely answered all of my questions about credit and then went into suggestions that I could understand and implement. My credit is now perfect with a credit score of over 750. You will learn that scores over 700 are considered "A" credit. You will also see the importance of paying off high interest debt first. It sounds so simple but many people, like myself, were paying more on our mortgage while still carrying a credit card balance. This book has changed my family into knowledgable consumers. We are now debt free and I would strongly recommend it to anyone- and no, I don't know the author.
A Good Read.......2001-11-15
A could credit counselling book since: tells you how to budget, where you stand credit-wise, and even suggests bankruptcy (as a last resort). Worth the cost! Common sense is not so common.
