Investing in Financial Research

"I have been lucky to witness Cheryl’s work on her AREA method over the last few years. To me, it is a work of genius. Cheryl has literally broken the code on all aspects of critical thinking both left and right brain. Her work is for everyone from young to old. It is enduring and will evolve as more people adopt the AREA Method in their toolbox for thinking. Hats off!" -- Joseph Platt, Director at companies including CONSOL Energy and BlackRock Liquidity Funds, a Trustee at Blackrock Collateral Trust and a General Partner at Thorn Partners LP
"Investing in Financial Research should sit on every investor's bookshelf between Graham's The Intelligent Investor and other seminal finance textbooks. It addresses a key gap in the finance literature, by explaining how to conduct financial research using a structured, replicable process that addresses the incomplete, imperfect, and often biased information we encounter in the 'real world.' I wish I learned this content earlier in my career—All of my employees will be receiving a copy of this book." -- David McCombie III, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of McCombie Group, a private investment firm
