As you know, I am polishing up the final draft. And, like any author who wishes to produce something of enduring quality, I want my book to stand the test of time like the Intelligent Investor. So, I am considering the added critique and final editing of each of my filter chapters by volunteer "secondary editors." The final 4 candidates can submit a brief summary of their writing, blogging, or investing credentials to you here, or me at budlabitan@aol.com, and we could pick 2-4 to help put the final "polish" on each of the four filter chapters. Then, when the book is published, I would list each of the co-editors and which chapter they contributed editing to. I would also include a brief entry about their work, passion, or area of expertise. Since, I want to keep this book small, and a quick but valuable reading experience; I prefer writers/volunteers who can express clear ideas with a minimum amount of words. What does a volunteer get out of it? A chance to be part of an enduring book like Ben GRaham's Intelligent Investor. Something to tell your Grandkids about.

I enjoyed the pdf on my commute home from work. I noticed one thing you might want to fix. The table on page 8 has some formatting issues. The TTM FCF/net income ratios look off as well. It's probably a decimal place issue. When I get some more time and sleep, I'll try to provide you with more substantive feedback. Hi Bud,

I just finished the book's footnotes and endnotes today. Some minor tweaking and proofing is ongoing. The main area I would like to do a final tweak on is "the history of using investment checklists." So, feel free to send in comments to me or this website. The Wiley company is still considering my book for their lineup, and I am weighing different publishing options. I will keep George updated on it's publication schedule and availability.
