#investing #books have long spoken of it glowingly but happy to note @AswathDamodaran-IMHO among top three #valuation experts in world-went out of his way, in recent lecture to his valuation course, to recommend "Expectations Investing" by @mjmauboussin & A. Rappaport. (1/2) Can't actually recall other instances of Aswath speaking so highly of a work mid-lecture (which doesn't mean he hasn't) -& the book itself is a masterpiece. Happily, newly revised/expanded edition out 9/21. "Expectations Investing" @mjmauboussin & A. Rappaport. #investing #books

BUT (1/5) #Yankees NB, in 2017, New Mountain Capital bought ~33% of Legends (biz was then valued at $700mm, so man valuation has risen). New Mountain is being taken out in this deal, so ~$455mm goes to them, ~$233mm split roughly evenly between Yanks/Cowboys (2/5)
