The Intelligent Investor, first published in 1949, was based on a speculating philosophy developed by Benjamin Graham (1894–1976) and David Dodd while they were teaching Columbia Business School in 1928, then later developed into their 1934 book, Security Analysis. At the center of both volumes is the concept of value investing, which promotes taking into account a company’s potential for long-term growth, rather than short-term gain, when purchasing seemingly underpriced securities. However, in Intelligent Investor, Graham deviated slightly from his earlier work, advocating that instead of performing extensive company analyses, an application of simple earning criteria would be sufficient research for potential investors. The book was almost instantly influential, not least on a 20-year-old Warren Buffett, who began using its precepts to build his own successful investment portfolio. It has sold millions of copies since the publication of this first edition, undergoing several revisions, including the last in 1973, which featured a preface by Buffett. It remains highly regarded by the public, particularly for those involved in mutual funds, hedge funds, diversified holding companies, and other investment vehicles. In the scarce original dust jacket.
