Product Description 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. Jeffrey C. Hooke (Potomac, Maryland) is a corporate financial consultant. Formerly an investment executive for the International Finance Corporation, he also spent ten years with Lehman Brothers and Schroder Wertheim. He is an adjunct professor at the University of Maryland School of Business. | ||

Practical complement for more academic approaches Hooke's treatment of security valuation is more popular than academic, and parts 1 and 2 can be skipped by anyone who has read authors such as Damodaran and Porter. Where Hooke is really valuable is in providing practical advice on how to value special cases: as a primer on distressed, natural resource, financial industry, and insurance stocks, this is really a good place to begin. | ||
Chicago MBAs LOVE this book..... University of Chicago MBAs looking to work on the Street live and die by this book. It happens to be one of my favorites... Other valuation books I like 1. DAMADORAN'S book -- buy it; it walks you through the WACC, etc....... 2. the McKinsey and Co book is a Bible -- another MBA first year staple..... 3. the "Streetsmart Guide to..." isn't bad either, since it's DCF focused... Picking stocks isn't just valaution, so make sure you read PORTER for an overview on industry dynamics..... | ||
Very resourceful from a broad persperctive I would recommend this book to someone who wants a broad exposure of "Security Analysis on Wall Street." Mr. Hooke gives a great overview of the many facets of securities analysis. The drawback of this book is that it lacks specifics. For example, I was interested in getting a deeper analysis of valuation methodologies, however, what I found was a general overview of this section--the author then jumped right on to the next section. This example relates to all of the topic areas. Going deeper into topic areas so that more educated and experienced readers could get insight was not available for the most part. Nevertheless, I rate this book 4 stars because it does a great job of giving a strong overview of security analysis. I would recommend this book, especially for beginners and intermediate students and practitioners. | ||
A Must For The Serious Investor This book is the best I've ever read on stock valuation. It has helped me understand the fundamentals behind valuation. It is an easy read for those who have some background in finance but not impossible for the layman to understand. | ||
Good in a broad sense, not very in depth My opinion, this book is good in a broad sense, but certainly not thatin depth. Comparing it to Graham and Doddville is streching. Sorry, I disagree. Of course, this is my opinion and other might have different opinion. | ||
