If you're looking for a surefire, get-rich-quick stock trading scheme, this book is not for you.

If you're in the market for magic algorithms, bullet-proof charting techniques, automated trading systems or other financial gimmickry designed to separate you from your hard-earned money, look elsewhere, because you won't find any of that here.

Here's what you will find in this book: A low-stress approach to building up a fortune steadily, over an extended period of time. It's an approach to investing intelligently and methodically, using similar techniques to those utilized by the world's most successful investor, Warren Buffett.

Buffett has used this approach to amass a fortune in excess of $46 billion, making him the third-richest man on the planet. But if you're like most people, you don't want to become the next Warren Buffett. You'd be happy to quietly make millions in your spare time.

And that's exactly what authors Rusmin Ang and Victor Chng offer you an opportunity to do. They introduce you to a unique value/growth investing strategy based on their proprietary Jigsaw Puzzle approach--an approach that lets you identify the best investment prospects and build up a solid portfolio of high-yield growth stocks that will increase steadily from year to year.

You'll assemble a highly accurate picture of a company before deciding whether or not to invest in it; you'll drill deep into the heart of a business to uncover stellar growth potential; and you'll know when and how to buy into high-growth, small-cap companies at pennies on the dollar for market-beating compound returns.

Writing in plain, jargon-free English--with a generous dose of humor--the authors walk you, step by-step, through the value investing basics. Then, with the help of real-world examples and five, full-length case studies focusing on Asian markets, they fill you in on how to:

• Develop good value investing habits and financial discipline
• Analyze a company's business model and its management structure
• Make sense of its financial statements and get a clear picture of its financial health
• Accurately calculate a company's future earnings potential
• Decide whether to buy or sell a stock
• Screen a stock that could become the next big money-maker
• Manage risk and maximize returns in a growth stock investment portfolio

Based on the authors' philosophy that "Anyone with a nine-to-five job and the diligent application of value investing can retire with millions," Value Investing in Growth Companies is your ticket to the wealth and financial independence you want and deserve.
