The Intelligent Investor, Revised Edition

Since its original publication in 1949, Graham's book has remained the most respected guide to investing due to his timeless philosophy of "value investing." Here he outlines the principles of stock selection for both the defensive and the enterprising investor, and stresses the advantages of a simple portfolio policy. Special features are the use of numerous comparisons of pairs of common stocks to bring out their elements of strength and weakness, and the construction of investment portfolios designed to meet specific requirements of quality and price attractiveness.
