Description of The Value Connection

Value is a concept that frequently eludes investors-especially when it comes to stocks. In many cases, successfully identifying value can make the difference between picking a winner and getting burned.

The Value Connection offers a systematic and doable method investors can use to take advantage of value in the stock market. Based on author Marc Gerstein's "Value Connection" method, this book will show investors how to find potentially attractive value connections, analyze specific situations to see if the value connection is sound, buy the best value connected opportunities, and sell stocks for which the value connection has weakened.

The proven four-step method outlined-which allows investors to understand the relationship between a company and its stock-will help any investor screen the stock market for the best values out there. Real world examples make understanding this revolutionary investing method easy.
