Second revised edition of this Wall Street high spot. A title virtually unobtainable in a jacketed first edition, with this revised second also scarce, particularly in such a bright example. One of the first serious modern studies of investment analysis, the authors in their preface to this edition state the need for its great enlargement over the first, citing the new regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as well as expanded analysis of the New York Stock Exchange.
