天下熙熙,皆为利来;天下壤壤,皆为利往,哪里有诱惑,哪里就会有财务欺诈。 可以说目前A股的环境,财务造假成本如此之地,报表不造假或粉饰的公司凤毛麟角。心理先对所有公司的财报都进行有罪推定,然后再去证明其没粉饰。 老师常教我们“心中常有三张表”,太阳底下无新鲜事...
评分从06年开始炒股,先是跟风,后是打听消息,再后研究KDJ与MACD等简单指标,再后研究庄家操作手法,诸如换手率之类,至今过了五六年,才发觉自己一直都不是投资者,而是投机分子。 学会投资,第一步是要掌握财务,找到那些知上进,懂经营的企业,辨别出哪些企业在欺骗投资者,搜...
评分书是好书,透过别扭的翻译也可以看得出来。 不大明白,真的不大明白,难道翻译一本通顺、达意的财务书就这样难么?很多地方看到吐血。 译者也算是有头有脸之人,为何能够交出这样一份不合格的功课呢? 想看原版,但是买不到。好吧,就让我忍受着吧。
评分上市公司的股价通常是和公司的盈利情况(利润)紧密联系的,因此,上市公司往往有很大的动力进行财务造假。 一个简单的公式: 利润=收入-费用 举个例子,开个面包店,一年卖出去面包收到的钱就是收入,和生产面包关联的钱,比如买面粉、黄油、以及面包师傅的工资,是费用(...
评分翻译的还是一般, 本来想吴博士自己也在美国呆过, 翻译会比较准确,没想到还是很多让人不理解的地方. 还有比如把快餐店连锁 Boston chicken 翻成波士顿家禽公司, 怎么听怎么别扭. 不过书本身还是不错的,可以帮助读者了解很多上市公司为了保持股票高涨,对华尔街实施的的欺诈手段...
有几个小技巧或者要点挺有用
评分直接看最后一章的总结。
评分A very useful and practical handbook.
评分证券分析师必读。文笔诙谐幽默,让我狂笑N次,脑洞开了不下一百次。大千世界,无奇不有!讲几个经典的。1.重组费用:一次性计提大量重组费用,给公司洗个大澡,建立预留储备,然后逐步释放业绩,显示新的管理层的能力。2. 低价出售商品,提前增加应收账款同时增加营业额,即使关注应收账款增加也没用,我把应收账款挪一下位置,超过一年的叫长期资产,不到一年的叫应收票据。3. 通过一次性经营活动,如少购入存货,或不转移风险地卖出应收账款,或延长支付期限,提振经营性现金流(但不可重复)。4. 通过不断兼并企业支付的价格叫做投资现金流支出,兼并企业后其应收账款及存货销售产生的是运营现金流收入,即使没有有机增长也能显示不断增长的CFFO。5.为了短期提升盈利录入折扣却在未来原价加折扣购入商品。6.不断篡改绩效指标定义
评分这书豆瓣也有⋯⋯
