About The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham

The Intelligent Investor, first published in 1949, has sold over a million copies and has been praised by famous figures like Warren E. Buffet as “the best book on investment ever written.” The book in its most recent form, updated with commentary by personal finance expert Jason Zweig, provides sage advice as well as cautionary tales that are as relevant to investors today as they were in 1949.
Graham’s investment philosophy is not focused so much on maximizing profit as it is on minimizing loss. This makes The Intelligent Investor an excellent resource for true long-term investors, albeit layman investors, as opposed to day traders or speculators. Inside, Graham shows investors how to use analytics, research, and discipline to make unconventional but solid investments that will pay in the long run. He teaches investors how to design a rational, non-emotional plan for buying stocks and bonds that will carry the investor through bull and bear markets with little to no concern about drastic dips and losses.
