"Investment Philosophies explores many of the time-tested investment philosophies that investors have used over the years - from value investing and growth investing to technical analysis and market timing - and discusses some of the investors who made these philosophies work. This unique book will expose you to a wide range of investment philosophies to give you a sense of what drives investors in each philosophy, how they attempt to put these philosophies into practice, and what determines ultimate success. Damodaran offers an unbiased forum for the presentation of different investment philosophies, while supplying you with the tools - the definition and measurement of risk, the notion of market efficiency and how to test for inefficiencies, the components and determinants of trading costs - and the empirical evidence to make your own judgments on the investment philosophy that fits your specific investment goals and views of how markets work.". "Filled with valuable insights, useful formulas, and comprehensive charts, this book provides you with the tools to pick an investment philosophy that is right for you."--BOOK JACKET.
