Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-02 00:00:00 Edward Thompson a couple of valid points, but not earth-shattering. a co needs to self fund, and certain spending such as brand advertising or growth initiatives should not punish the co's near-term earnings or cash flow.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-02-02 00:00:00 John Croston The good: the ideas make sense intuitively. It looks like one might be able to identify growth stocks using the earnings power chart as described in this book. The bad: the book has not been carefully edited. There are many typos, and an important number that's claimed to be taken from a financial statement in the book, doesn't appear in the financial statement. I was left wondering if I was supposed to add/subtract couple of things in the financial statement to arrive at this number... The ugly: I think the author doesn't take sufficient effort to make sure his audience (likely to not be finance experts) truly and exactly understand what they need to do to arrive at the earnings power chart (the whole point of the book).
