The 5 Minute Investor: When You Don't Want to Spend the Time
Not exactly what I was expecting based on the title. I was hoping for a book that would really hone skills and expedite the review of financial reports. In the end I felt almost more confused by the numerous examples of how financial reports are manipulated by companies that I am not sure what to take away from the book as useful information.
