Customer Reviews

Great book
A wondeful book to read although it takes time, before one enters into the world of investing as it teaches sound principles which one can refer back to in times of confusion. Probably a book to keep re-reading through ones investing career.

Wisdom of the Ancients
Much, if not most, of what is written about the stock market is worthless. This book, on the other hand, is a work of scholarship that will be of value to investors for as long as markets continue to exist.

A must read for the serious investor
The language may be a bit dated but the advice is still good, proving there is little new in the world of investing. If you follow Graham's practical advice on valuing companies, assessing risk and investing for the long term you will make money.
