The Classic Text Annotated to Update Graham's Timeless Wisdom for Today's Market Conditions

The greatest investment advisor of the twentieth century, Benjamin Graham taught and inspired people worldwide. Graham's philosophy of "value investing" -- which shields investors from substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies -- has made The Intelligent Investor the stock market bible ever since its original publication in 1949.

Over the years, market developments have proven the wisdom of Graham's strategies. While preserving the integrity of Graham's original text, this revised edition includes updated commentary by noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, whose perspective incorporates the realities of today's market, draws parallels between Graham's examples and today's financial headlines, and gives readers a more thorough understanding of how to apply Graham's principles.

Boring to read but important strategies

4 stars

  • Sometimes its boring to read and many examples are really old but the core strategies in the book are still valid today and will probably be still important in the future
  • Read something really interesting in "The Intelligent Investor": “One fairly dependable sign of the approaching end of a bull swing is the fact that new common stocks of small and nondescript companies are offered at prices somewhat higher than the current level for many medium-sized companies with a long market history.” - Benjamin Graham

Review of 'The intelligent investor' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Honestly I think this book is a little dated. The information is still useful, however there are easier ways to learn it. This book isn't written as clearly as it could be and sometimes felt dry. That being said, Graham still has profound insights about the market, and you can tell how much experience he has. In particular, Graham makes the observation that although rules and regulations change, the market looks the same. This is EXTREMELY telling of human psychology. In other word, people stay the same. People today have the same (Potential) biases as they had 100, 200, 1000 years ago. I'm still thinking about the significance of this thought but I know it is profound.
