The Sleuth Investor

A guide to detect the investment clues that will have you dialing M for money!
To make real money in the stock market, it's not enough to rely on public information. You have to dig beneath the surface of SEC filings, press releases, and stock prices to reveal the market's most lucrative investments.
Avner Mandelman, a leading authority on sleuth investing, honed this approach at Giraffe Capital, one of the top private investment funds in Canada. The Sleuth Investor gives you the tools to use this method and explains the right questions to ask and the details to investigate that separate good stocks from the bad.
You'll learn the factors that signal critical events before they happen, including whether a company is about to report high growth, stock disasters that can be shorted, partnerships and acquisitions that are about to happen, new product launches, and negative press.
