Hi Rolf,

My interest in financials has always been from a managerial
accounting/business analysis/business planning/investing point of view, so
you're sure to get a different perspective on the best resources from the
true accounting professionals here on the list.

Some of these resources may cover basics which you've already mastered, so
offered here only as a starting point for you:

http://uoutperform.com/New_Folder/fundamental_analysis.htm
http://www.investopedia.com/university/fundamentalanalysis/
http://www.WallStreet-LLC.com/canslim/Accounting101.doc

I don't own this book personally, but flipped through the sample pages at
Amazon. It appears to stick to the basics and seems to be straightforward in
its approach, though more thorough than the simple articles above.
Select Winning Stocks Using Financial Statements: Get Inside a Company's
Financial, Use the Pro's Favorite Selection Tools, Determine Key Investment
by Richard B. Loth

/102-5366141-9948140

If you want to get into the depths of fundamental analysis, here are the
three on my bookshelf which I like best (definitely not "101" style books!):

sr_1_2/102-5366141-9948140

And the grand-daddy of them all:

| I believe there are some (several?) current or retired accounting
| types in the group.
|
| Can anyone recommend a good text book that would help in
| understanding financial statements (income, balance sheets, etc.).
| Somehow I feel like I have enough knowledge to be dangerous
| and a bit of self schooling would be good.
|
| A website or something like 'financial statements for dummies'
| would be the right level.
|
| Thanks!
|
|  Rolf
