Light Harvard Business School ""Financial Statement Analysis should be required reading for anyone who puts a dime to work in the securities markets or recommends that others do the same."" -Jack L. Rivkin Executive Vice President (retired) Citigroup Investments ""Fridson and Alvarez provide a valuable practical guide for understanding, interpreting, and critically assessing financial reports put out by firms.
