Very Informative

The book is very long and a bit hard to keep up with but it is very informative and important for investors.

Outstanding read!

Great ideas and strategies to employ but requires some market knowledge for better understanding. Suitable for any investor.

The first book that you should read about investing!

The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham is a classic.  Considered by many to be the father of value investing and modern security analysis,  Benjamin Graham started working on Wall Street in 1914, a time when portfolio management was based more on unsupportable impressions and inside information.  Benjamin Graham brought a disciplined and intelligent approach to the profession.After reading The Intelligent Investor in his senior year at the University of Nebraska, Warren Buffett was so impressed that he traveled to New York to study with Benjamin Graham at Columbia University.  Warren Buffett once said that he was "15 percent (Philip) Fisher and 85 percent Benjamin Graham."  The training that Warren Buffett received from Benjamin Graham was critical to his success.  If you read this book, you'll know why.The Intelligent Investor's emphasis is on investment principles and investors' attitudes.  Several comparisons of specific securities are included to demonstrate important elements in security selection.  The book provides a guide to avoiding the loss of investment capital as well as identifying securities which are likely to provide superior returns with a margin of safety.
