The
Bottom Line -
Whether you are a passive investor, or want to role up your sleeves
and dive into the market, Ben Graham's Intelligent Investor has
just what you are looking for. Graham is arguably the greatest
investment philosopher of all time, acting as mentor to billionaire
Warren Buffett, as well as scores of other money managers on Wall
Street and abroad. In the fourth edition of his masterful
treatise, Graham works his way through concrete examples of real
businesses and stocks, explaining step by step what the "intelligent
investor" should look for - and what to avoid. No matter how you
cut it, you should own a copy of each edition.
