This approach has more in common with corporate finance than it does with the conventional approach. The key factors in appraising a company and its securities: 1) Credit worthiness, 2) Flows--both cash and earnings, 3) Long-term outlook, 4) Salable assets which can be disposed of without compromising the going concern, dynamics, 5) Resource conversions such as changes in control, mergers and acquisitions, going private, and major changes in assets or in liabilities, and 6) Access to capital.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers the security analysis value approach Martin Whitman has used successfully since 1986\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetails Whitman's unconventional approach to security analysis and offers information on the six key factors for appraising a company\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains the three most overemphasized factors used in conventional securities investing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by Martin J.
