This monograph investigates whether existing covenants are adequate or whether they have lost value as a result of factors that assumed prominence during the leveraged-buyout era.

User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Outdated Facts and Perspective on Financial Markets
This classic of basic definitions has a new edition that came out in 1999. Although I have not yet read that one, I do suggest that you skip this one.
The book is filled with discussions of how investors value stocks that few serious investors would recognize. There is almost nothing about investing outside the United States. NASDAQ gets almost no mention. The information about discount brokers is wrong. The terminology for describing many types of stocks was never correct, as best as I can recall.
The facts that are correct relate mostly to trivia, like what the number on a stock certificate means. It could help you answer a question on Do You Want To Be a Millionaire? but has little other practical use. Many of these facts (such as how to read the stock tables) can be garnered by simply reading the footnotes in The Wall Street Journal or Barron’s.
This book is a good example of the communication stall. We tend to believe everything that we read from what should be reliable sources, even when the information is often faulty.

5 Stars Great for People New to Investing
This book is excellent for people who are new to investing and managing their own money. It is colorful, easy to read, gives great real-life examples and provides a great index to the book can be used as a referrence manual. The book can be read rather quickly to give someone a feel for understnading stocks, bonds, mutual funds, futures and money in general. It’s a must read prior to investing money.

Kiss Your Stockbroker Goodbye A Guide to Independent Investing
Some 10 million Americans use full-commission stockbrokers today–and most of them are overpaying for under performance, writes analyst John G. Wells in Kiss Your Stockbroker Goodbye: A Guide to Independent Investing. However, Wells argues, a series of widely accessible alternatives now makes it easier to forego this always costly and often ineffectual investment route. He outlines the steps needed, and the resources available, to all investors who would rather serve as their own brokers.
