5.0 out of 5 stars as wise as the bible, and as badly writen (in places)
i would acually give this 700 page tome 4 and a half stars, but there isnt a button for that.this book is a very useable, inspiring and thought provoking investment guide. it was produced out of half a centuarys worth of trial, error and sucess by an unquestionably cleaver man. should someone interested in stocks read it? yes, proably.for a book claiming to be for the 'layman' this book doesent give some of its secrets up easily. now im not an idiot (ha ha) but there were places in the book where i was reading the words but could come up with no meaning for the sentences. but i found it got easier to understand as i went on, perhaps it just takes a while to get used to grahams style. some, but not all, of the tables have been described by other reviewers a 'user unfriendly'. i wouldnt disagree.enough of the bad, whats good?graham really knew how to asses the financial health of a buisness and how to calculate its value. his 'value' and 'margin of safty' ideas are common sence writ large. his phlegmatic approach helps the investor to keep an even keel whilst navigating the stormy seas of the stock markets waves of irration optimism and pessimism.some reviewers have criticised jason zwiegs footnotes and chapter summeries, but for me they were exelent and nessary. i can only guess that critics object to having new text interpolated in to what they, understandably, consider to be a perfect and complet work. but zweig helps to make to book more current and fills in a few areas where graham gave a less than satisfactory explination.also one last thing, warren buffets little story at the end is brilliantly amusing and also very encouraging.in sum, this book is full of gold; but be perpared to dig for it.
4.0 out of 5 stars The beginning of long term value investing.
Benjamin Graham is the father of long term value investing. The man that Warren Buffet learned from. It's worth reading as much as possible if you want to be a successful value investor and this book should be high up on your list. It's a bit dated and I personally found a lot of the book too heavy, but it's definitely worth reading.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nuggets of gold if you have the patience to find them
Readers should be aware that this book might look as if it belongs in a museum. Benjamin Graham died in 1976 so his most recent advice on investing in stocks is half a century old now. Added to that, the appendix by Warren Buffett dates from 1984 and the commentary by Jason Zweig is from 2003. However, good advice is usually timeless and the judicious reader will pick his or her way through the references to the dot.com bubble of 1999 and the stagflation of the early 1970s and tease out the nuggets of gold. There are plenty of them.My motivation for reading this book was to find a way to boost my rather meagre pension fund before it’s too late. Having said that, the advice given here (more by Jason Zweig than by the author) is that if you don’t have the time or inclination to read annual reports and spend your leisure time studying graphs and tables of data, you’re better off putting your money in an investment fund, preferably one that tracks a major stock market index. Over the long haul, very few individual investors – or even actively managed investment funds – outperform those stock indices or the passive funds that track them. The exceptions are people like Warren Buffett, who regards Benjamin Graham as his guru.Fortunately, it is probably easier to find financial information now than it was in Graham’s day. Rather than plough through dozens of annual reports you can access information on the web, open an account with an online broker or subscribe to a share tipping service. Doing all three will give you a tsunami of data that you then have to swim through to find suitable investment opportunities. My advice would be to use all three and also use a certain website that gives the Graham Number for a wide range of stocks – I’ve looked at US and UK companies. The Graham Number is a tool that can help you identify whether a stock is good value or not. However, it should be used alongside Graham’s golden rules for investing. There are two sets of rules: one for defensive (i.e. cautious) investors; one for enterprising investors (i.e. those with a higher risk appetite). If Warren Buffett says the rules are worth following, they probably are.
A must read!
A book that will change your mindset. Loved it!
La Biblia de los Inversionistas
Los conceptos de Graham son fundamentales para cualquier inversionista, sin embargo el libro ya se siente un poco anticuado. Lo bueno es que tiene comentarios más recientes en cada capítulo que actualizan el contenido y dan ejemplos más modernos de lo que habla en el interior del capítulo. De cualquier manera es un libro indispensable para todos los asesores financieros e inversionistas profesionales.

Bon livre pour commencer l'investissement
J'ai entendu parlé de ce livre comme "le livre" pour comprendre le B.A.BA de l'investissement.À la fois en stratégie d'investissement et en psychologie.Un bémol c'est au niveau de la traduction française que je trouve un peu étrange (je l'ai lu en anglais et français)
