I just went over to www.investopedia.com, read all the basics about stocks, bonds, commodities, trading floors(NYSE and NASDAQ chiefly), options, derivatives, etc... and in each page whenever some word was new to me i would lookup its definition and then resume reading. I've only taken one class of economics my entire life, so when i first started reading this book i couldn't understand a thing. But now i have the basic knowledge to understand - at least partially - what the author is talking about. Hope this helps :) (less)

Benjamin Graham’s last line in The Intelligent Investor sums up the entire book in his trade-mark common-sense way: “ To achieve satisfactory investment results is easier than most people realize; to achieve superior results is harder than it looks.”

Warren Buffett's pick as the greatest investment book of all time, and it really does live up to that review. Some highlights:
1) Your main goal should be to not LOSE money; so understand the distinction between 'investing' and 'speculating,' and understand that most so-called investors are actually speculators. Minimize the extent to which you are a speculator. If you go in trying to get rich quick, you'll lose.
2) To that end, trailing P/E should be less than 15 and P/E * P/B (tangible) should b...more

OK, the recent stock market drops scared me. I got hit by the drops in 99 and said I would never let it happen again. This time I had what I thought would be value stocks. The problem was I didn't know if I should sell or hold the stocks. So for $8 I bought a used copy of Ben Graham's book. I stopped reading my other book and read this book like crazy.
It was the best $8 ever spent. It teaches you some basics about the behavior of the market and it teaches you to be very careful. I learned some...more

If you read investing books or magazines, you've undoubtedly heard of Benjamin Graham. He's considered the father of value investing, and Warren Buffett is one of his disciples. In fact, The Oracle of Omaha called this book 'the best book about investing ever written.'

Okay, this is the book to read if you are serious about investing in stocks. Benjamin Graham's 'value investing' method is the time-tested 'choose 'em carefully and hold 'em' long-term strategy used by Warren Buffett. Benjamin Graham is the man that Warren Buffett calls The Man. So, you know, if you want to be rich like Warren Buffett, read this book.

I saw that Benjamin Graham was Buffet's professor at Columbia and one of his closest friends. In fact Buffet named one of his kids after Graham. The Intelligent Investor teaches the philosophy that Buffet learned at school and went on to find massive success with. It does not teach people to ride market waves or speculate. Instead it instructs those who follow its teachings to calculate the intrinsic value of companies, find the ones that are either under priced or successful, but proven to have...more
To be honest, the commentary and footnotes of this book were more useful to me than the original content. The book in its original form is obviously outdated in terms of the specific examples it gives for ways to invest and the different companies it details. However, the commentary by Jason Zweig draws from the fundamental messages behind the book to provide more up-to-date advice on how to invest. Undoubtedly, Benjamin Graham provided the foundation for the commentary with his book, but I pers...more
I had high expectations from the book, which it failed to meet. But then, this book is too old to have a lot of relevance now.
The essence is that an intelligent investor is one who doesn’t think of this as gambling. Do solid fundamental, qualitative analysis rather than looking at charts. Know what the company stands for. And you can’t beat the market.
Maybe if you know nothing about the stock market, then this book is for you to get an idea of what you are getting into and what to expect.

To be honest, I have never seen such a terrible book. I just can't imagine that this book worth nearly $22. Actually, it is too expensive for me to afford this book because it cost me almost all my pocket money. But it doesn't worth such much money. When I am reading this book, I can't see anything about investing. I even don't believe the author can speak English. There are so many stupid mistakes like spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes.

P.S. Not for traders.
P.P.S. Don't forget to read Jason Zweig's commentary after each chapter to get the current context. Most of the times, those help to understand the original text much better.

Why I Read this Book: Warren Buffet became the successful man he is today greatly as a result of what he learned from the man who wrote this book. We have the chance to read exactly what he read.

The classic book on investing by the man who taught Warren Buffett. Originally written 50 years ago, and it is still relevant. The same lessons applied to specific industries and companies at the time of the writing have obvious parallels to different industries and companies today.
And there are some radical ideas, despite it's age, that fly in the face of 'conventional wisdom'. The most important example in my opinion was the idea of how much risk you should have in your investments:

I'd read several books about Benjamin Graham as well as articles by him in the past, but this was my first foray into reading a book authored by him. It's definitely a great primer into the world of value investing and not only outlines its tenets but also their rationale. Several historical examples are used to illustrate his points.

I read Benjamin Graham's 'Security Analysis' prior to reading 'The Intelligent Investor,' and while the earlier book is much more detailed and considerably longer than this one, Graham has captured all the important information here.

It's amazing that this book is still relevant after so many years. Graham uses 100 years of stock market data to humble and convince you that you never know what the market will do and if you ever start thinking you do know, be careful. Based on the idea that you don't know, he then builds common sense strategy for investment.

This review is more than enough to pick and place it on your bookshelf and include in your reading list. Prior to making huge investments, it is essential to understand the whims of the market. Benjamin Graham emphasizes on safe investments. He was the one to coin the term ‘The Margin of Safety’. He explains the process of investment operation and focuses on adequate monetary returns.

This is a book that has been on my reading list for a while - as The reference in the investment field (from a fundamental analysis perspective).

Ben Graham hoped every day to do “something foolish, something creative and something generous.”
The secret to your financial success is inside yourself. If you become a critical thinker and you invest with patient confidence, you can take steady advantage of even the worst bear market. By developing your discipline and courage, you can refuse to let other people’s mood swings govern your financial destiny. In the end, how your investments behave is much less important than how you behave.

This book is a mirror to find the kind of investor we are; along with comprehensive solutions to serve our individual requirements, as it has been wisely stated in the book- “It requires a great deal of boldness and a great deal of caution to make a great fortune; and when you have got it, it requires ten times as much wit to keep it.”

This was the bible on investing back when it was published and not too much has changed. Warren Buffet was a student of Benjamin Graham and has used a lot of his investment strategies to create his own. This is a great book to give a foundation to manage your own investments, even if you don't want to do anything but know where to put your money and leave it there until you retire.
