The Intelligent Investor

The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham is a classic book on value investing, widely regarded as essential reading for anyone interested in building long-term wealth through the stock market. Originally published in 1949, it emphasizes the importance of discipline, patience, and risk management. Graham introduces key concepts like “margin of safety” and differentiates between “investing” and “speculating.” With commentary by Jason Zweig in later editions, the book remains relevant by connecting timeless principles to modern markets. It’s especially known for influencing legendary investor Warren Buffett, who called it “by far the best book on investing ever written.”
