Description
In The Intelligent Investor, Benjamin Graham—mentor to Warren Buffett—lays out the foundational principles of value investing, a strategy focused on identifying undervalued stocks and investing with a margin of safety.
The book teaches investors how to:
-
Analyze stocks for long-term value, not short-term trends.
-
Avoid speculative behavior and emotional decision-making.
-
Understand the difference between investment and speculation.
-
Evaluate financial statements, market conditions, and economic fundamentals.
-
Adopt the mindset of the “defensive” vs. “enterprising” investor.
Graham emphasizes the importance of discipline, patience, and rational decision-making in the financial markets. His famous concept of “Mr. Market” helps readers grasp the idea of market fluctuations and how to benefit from them.
The updated editions often include commentary by Jason Zweig, linking Graham’s timeless insights to modern examples and current financial realities.
