An incisive and comprehensive exploration of value investing in the real world

In the newly revised second edition of Common Stocks and Common Sense: The Strategies, Analyses, Decisions, and Emotions of a Particularly Successful Value Investor, celebrated Wall Street value investor Ed Wachenheim walks readers through eleven revealing case studies of real-world investments made by the author's firm, Greenhaven Associates. Each case uncovers unique insights into the technical and human elements that go into any profitable investment transaction.

This latest edition includes brand-new content with coverage of the electric vehicle (EV) market, and in-depth discussions of General Motors. Refreshed and renewed content also appears throughout the book, with several new investment theses appearing for the first time in this edition. Readers will also find:

An emphasis on the softer, human side of value investing, including the biases and emotions that can get in the way of successful investments
New material covering emerging and high-growth industries
Value investing advice that goes beyond balance sheets and technical ratios

An essential handbook for retail value investors everywhere, Common Stocks and Common Sense will also earn a place on the bookshelves of portfolio and fund managers, securities analysts, and anyone else with a personal or professional interest in the financial markets.
