Security Analysis on Wall Street: A Comprehensive Guide to Today's Valuation Methods

A dynamic real-world approach to security analysis.

For more than 65 years, Graham and Dodd's Security Analysis has been the number-one guide on the subject. Offering an up-to-the-minute, real-world view of security analysis as it is currently practiced, this book picks up where Graham and Dodd leave off. Jeffrey Hooke describes the four major valuation techniques now in use, emphasizing the differences between academic abstraction and the nitty-gritty of actual securities trading. He also provides detailed coverage of special situations such as distressed securities, unusual industries, and foreign securities.
