Lessons and Ideas from Benjamin Graham – by Jason Zweig


benjamin-graham

Most do it yourself investors have at the very least heard of Benjamin Graham. For the uninitiated, he is often called the father of value investing. To me, he is an individual who provided intense clarity and a clear process to fully understand the stock that goes along with a company and whether or not that stock is worth the market price at the time.[ad#tdg-embedded]

There is an absolutely amazing article floating around the internet right now by Jason Zweig about the lessons and ideas put forward by Benjamin Graham. If you want a quick overview of what Graham was all about, then read this article. If it rouses your interest, then be sure to move on and get Graham’s book, The Intelligent Investor.

    Don’t have time to read the article right now, but I’m definitely bookmarking it for later. I’m neck deep in the Warren Buffett biography “The Snowball” (which is a must-read!) in which Graham is, of course, mentioned early and often.

    I find reading about the innovators and early pioneers in sound investing practices educational as well as inspiring. Often, the lessons they taught can very well be applied today.

    Keep up the good work!

    Great link DG. I’ve just started reading / working through Graham’s Security Analysis, so was in need of some lighter reading. I can get lost in scribd for days, though often wonder how they get around copyright issues.

    You blog is looking great and continues to be of great interest.
    cheers
