How to read financial information. Michael Brett
Trading on the stock exchange is much more complicated than it might seem at first glance, and in order for it to be effective, you need to have at least basic knowledge.
Basic knowledge also includes the ability to read financial information, which allows you to draw correct conclusions about the real value of a security.
Without this knowledge, you will only trade on news and will not be able to assess the real value of the company's shares.
The book “How to Read Financial Information” written by Michael Brett allows you to learn how to find, and most importantly, read the information necessary to assess the investment attractiveness of an asset.
In addition, this book reveals other, equally important issues for those who decide to trade on the stock exchange.
