Overview

Reading and understanding financial statements and financial ratios is a critical skill needed by investors, finance students, accounting students, and business students. Without this skill, investors are left with selecting stocks based on 'water-cooler' conversations or because they like the company name. Not a great foundation to build a retirement portfolio. Students without a solid foundation with understanding financial statements, specifically, the income statement and balance sheet, and financial ratios, passing basic business courses will be exceptionally difficult.This book is structured to help investors and students quickly and efficiently learn to read and understand a company's income statement, balance sheet, and popular financial ratios used in financial analysis and business courses. For each financial statement line item and financial ratio, I first define the line item or ratio in 'finance terms.' This is the technical definition used in most business courses. Next, I offer the term or definition in understandable, or laymen's terms by employing an 'In other words' segment. The last parts for the financial statements and ratios review is the 'analysis tips' and financial ratio formula. For this segment, professional tips for analyzing trends, or changes, in the financial statement line items or financial ratios are conducted, using in-depth discussions and visual aids, such as graphs and charts.In the end, my wish for you from reading this book is a thorough understanding of financial statements and financial ratios. Further, I hope that you will use this book as a quick reference guide for future use.
