Contemporary version of a classic
Benjamin Graham's timeless wisdom combined with Jason Zweig's modern insight in one volume. If the commentaries are annoying, they're partitioned into footnotes and separate sections that are easy enough to skip - but these are loaded with practical... more

If you will read only one book...
This book has taken me through one of the biggest crashes in market history and the following recovery over the last two years or so. Although written decades ago, Graham's ideas and his presentation is so clear, it all still makes sense. Thoughts and... more

A True Classic
One of the greatest business books of all time. A "must have" for the library of any serious long term investor/businessman. Ben Graham was Warren Buffett's mentor, and Buffett has always attributed his great success to the lessons/wisdom he learned... more

The Intelligent Investor: The Definitive Book On Value Inves
Why another review of the already famous and much reviewed book ? The phrase "The definitive book ..." in the title seems like an advertising gimmick added by the publisher but I think that is not exaggerated. It is even not overstated to call it "stock... more

Read the 4th Revised Edition instead
If you want to read Graham, read the 4th revised edition (1997, 368 pages) in which Graham has expressed his idea very clearly. To me, this edition (2003, 640 pages, with Jason Zweig) adds no value upon the previous one but noise.

And, I... more

The Value Is In The Investment Philosophy
The value of this book is in the investment philosophies that Graham goes out of is way to state and restate into redundancy. As Graham states in the book, "The Intelligent Investor" focuses less on the technicalities of his analysis's, and more... more

"best book on investing ever" (Warren Buffett) ... I agree.
Zweig takes the classic book by Ben Graham (Intelligent investor, 1949 -- updated and rewritten several times) and adds lots and lots of commentary. Every other chapter is Zweig. Almost every page has a Zweig comment on something Graham says. If you... more

Updated After About 30 Years
Benjamin Graham first started the whole idea of modern security analysis with the publication of the first edition of this book in 1949. He updated it several times before his death in 1976, the last time in 1972. This was the Bible of charts and graphs... more

Classic book, but annoying commentaries
this is buffets' bible for good reason.

the book's central concept, the margin of safety, is reinforced time and again w/ supporting ratios and working examples, both from the 60-70s and from zweig's excellent supplements (an extremely valuable supplement... more

Too bad real estate was not also in Benjamin Graham's field
If you have only time to read one book on investing, this classic should probably be it. But if you recently have read some of the popular get-rich-quick books, "The Intelligent Investor" is a necessary and powerful antidote.

The author has... more

A classic!
Anyone who chooses to comprehend this classic text will without a doubt expand their knowledge within the universe of value investment techniques. Moreover, in these times of muddled distinction between the investor and speculator, there is no better... more

The first and last book you need
I am amazed that things are still repeating the similiar way even decades after this book published.

This book costed me $13.97. By reading it, I can save much much more -- I think it is an great investment.

Edition quirks
Years ago I read David Chilton's "The Wealthy Barber" and was instantly hooked by its accessibility and plain common sense regarding investing and financial planning. If the "The Wealthy Barber" was grade school, "The Intelligent Investor" is college.... more
