Mit diesem Buch haben die Autoren einen Meilenstein geschaffen, der das Thema Investment im realen Kontext behandelt. Das, was gegenwärtig an Universitäten mit dem Schwerpunkt Preisentwicklung und Short-term Trading (kurzfristige Investitionen) gelehrt wird, geht nach Auffassung der Autoren weit an der Praxis vorbei. Gewinne aus Investitionen hängen heute vielmehr davon ab, was an der Wall Street geschieht, von Unternehmensrestrukturierungen sowie von Mergern und Akquisitionen. Dieses Buch sagt Investoren, wie sie diese Faktoren interpretieren und nutzen können, um aktiv Gewinne einzufahren. (11/97)
