The book is based on the value investment principle advocated by such investment greats as Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett. The author explains formulas and data analysis methods through which the reader can calculate the potential for profits of company stocks. Analyzing the fundamentals of a company, the common sense approach taken by the book is easy to understand and practise.

- Valuation ratios related to market capitalization
- Analysis of the EPS and Assets Per Share models

- Identifying companies based on quarterly results
