The Financial Analyst's Handbook

[investragy]

All -
Anybody know what this is…. well yeah it is book… but does it really exist? It is referenced in the CFAI L1 Equity text but a quick google doesn’t turn a lot of info on it?
There are NO reviews of it anywhere, not available in any bookstore or library but there are snippets of it on ebay!!! … it is written by Sumner N. Levine?

There are 13 available on Amazon starting at $7.98. List price is (or was) $120.00. Must be really good.

I saw that Amazon listing as well - However, looking for someone who has used/seen it as there are no reviews of it anywhere on the www!
I believe it is also about 1800 pages and published in the late ’80s….. seems like a good book though..

Personally I still have my doubts about whether it really exists.

Check this out though…..

I guess it is a mystery book… oh well!

That is very intriguing. I wonder if we’ll ever know the real answer.

And it gets more interesting…

Me thinks it exists but probably out of print? But question is, seems like a really good reference book but why would a really good book be out of print if that is the case?!?!

I have the “Financial Analyst’s Indispensible Pocket Guide”. not in depth at all but its good if you go brain-dead on a subject and need a quick review.

That’s your new gimmick here, from % of positions advertised, to working hours, to the existence of books.
