Product Description

Review

Read and reap? J.P. Morgan Co.'s private-banking unit, New York, compiles "Summer Must-Reads for Millionaires." The 10-book list includes the 1934 edition of "Security Analysis." The Wall Street Journal 20000726 --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Product Description

Since its publication,Security Analysis by Graham and Dodd has been the investment bible and has sold more than 750,000 copies. Now the fifth edition of this classic updates the application of the Graham and Dodd valuation approach for today's greatly changed investment environment.

This edition brings the Graham and Dodd approach up to date with the changes that have occurred since the last edition was published--changes in investment practices and regulation, several new tax laws, the explosion of new accounting and financial reporting rules, persistent inflation in capital markets, new investment instruments, and more.

Maintaining the high standards of prior editions, Security Analysis puts at your fingertips the authoritative guidance on analyzing securities that generations of users have come to rely on. Here in clear, easy-to-use explanations you'll find the tools of financial statement analysis--from the investor's viewpoint and with an investor's notion of income and capital maintenance--that have enabled value investors to keep the edge in a highly competitive market.

The book provides the principles and techniques to measure asset values and cash flows so that you can sharpen your judgments of company earnings, refresh your insight into what individual companies are worth, and evaluate how much debt a leveraged company can service. You'll find practical guidance to make better investment decisions whether you're a security analyst, portfolio manager, broker/dealer, investment banker, credit officer, or a serious individual investor.

Heavily illustrated with examples taken from real companies, Security Analysis, Fifth Edition, is an investment book like no other for investors who aspire to the highest investment accomplishments.

A waste of money 7 May 1998
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
Go buy the classic 1934 edition. The informal style of the 1934 edition can be easily read and understood by just about anyone. If that one was good enough for Warren Buffet, it's good enough for the rest of us. This latest edition reeks of academic arrogance and is poorly written with points that ramble on forever with no conclusion and examples that make no sense. The 1934 edition has some outdated examples but its concepts and forecasts are so true that you'd swear it was a historical perspective written in recent years.

This book is definitely not for beginners. It would be best used by someone who is going to do a very detailed analysis of company statements. It would be particularly helpful for someone trying to learn about the typical ways of window-dressing financial statements.

Sure, some of the finer details and paradigms of investing have changed since 1934. But so many facets of investing are timeless, and for those facets, there IS no better book. It's cool having the 1934-style print, too. It really feels like reading an old book...if only the pages had the yellowing edges and that "old book" smell!

And even in the areas of securities analysis where the investing paradigm has shifted, it's captivating to see the hows and whys of investment decisions as they were made in the depths of the Great Depression. The first-person perspective you get about investing through the Depression is fascinating!

Some of the more esoteric aspects of determining the "intrinsic value" of a security are described in ways which are surprisingly and refreshingly easy for even advanced beginners to understand.

No serious investor who picks his/her own stocks should be without it.
