Here you'll find a practical, step-by-step game plan that will give you the tools to make your own judgments. Learn how to hone the diligence and research skills you need to succeed, how to filter through the flood of financial information and come up with an independent assessment of how much a stock is worth, and how much time as well as money to devote to your investments. You'll never be dependent on "expert" advice again-because you'll be the expert.
In addition to providing invaluable wisdom that will help you beat the pros, The Big Tech Score offers a fascinating insider's look at some of the most well-known companies of the past decade, including Dell, Amazon, Microsoft, and Gateway, along with a discussion of which businesses will rule the post-PC era.
