Security Analysis: Homework for Monday, July 14th, 2008

Get

Security Analysis: The Classic 1940 Edition

The Interpretation of Financial Statements

Read
Security Analysis: Preface to the Second Edition, Preface to the First Edition (pg. vii – x)

The Interpretation of Financial Statements: Introduction to Chapter XX (read to pg. 48)


Note

I will post the first commentaries on Monday. The chapter commentary will only cover the two prefaces to give everyone an extra week to acquire a copy of Security Analysis.

There will also be commentaries on general subjects interspersed with the chapter specific commentaries. The entire Security Analysis “course” will be collected together and made available through a Security Analysis link under the CATEGORIES heading on the right sidebar starting Monday.

By the way, if you have any accounting background, you can skip The Interpretation of Financial Statements.

I dusted off my 1940 edition of Security Analysis and will start on the asignment right away. This should be fun.

I don't own a copy of "The Interpretation of Financial Statements", but I think I'll be okay. My account knowledge is not too poor I think.

Alright! I'm in! I just picked up an original 2nd edition from my library today. :)

I'm in- bought Security Analysis over a year ago but its length intimidated me so I never read it.

Geoff,
I was a big fan of your podcasts. I look forward to reading Security Analysis along with you. I've checked it out from the local library to start. If I buy it, which edition should I get?
thanks,
Michael
