From an Amazon.com review of Online Investing Hacks:

"I worked at Enron from 1998 through 2001, and spent plenty of time during that dot.com era following my stock portfolio. I watched my Enron stock value go from incredible value to a point where it cost more to sell the stock than it was worth...This book would have been a lifesaver if I had read and paid attention to it a few years ago...Spot Hanky Panky with Cash Flow Analysis (using Enron as an example) would have literally saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars had I known about it."—Thomas Duff
