THE BIBLE OF VALUE INVESTING UPDATED BY TODAY'S VALUE INVESTING MASTERS

Buying a dollar's worth of assets for 50 cents isn't the only way to succeed on Wall Street. But it is how Warren Buffett got rich. Just as value investing never goes out of style, neither does the value investor's bible, Security Analysis, by Benjamin Graham and David L. Dodd, which has withstood the test of time as well or better than any investment book ever published. Now the Sixth Edition updates the masters' ideas and adapts them for the 21st century's markets.

In what will be a major event in the investment community, the second edition, which was published in 1940 and still considered the definitive edition, has been updated by a dream team of some of today's leading value investors. Their new commentaries will be added to the 1940 text.

“Benjamin Graham is the father of investment analysts everywhere, originally sparking the debate for a credential to professionalize the industry which led to the CFA Charter. He transformed the practice of financial analysis from trade to science, starting with his groundbreaking book, Security Analysis, first published in 1934. This edition, with new commentary by some of today’s finest investors, belongs on every investment professional’s shelf.”
—Jeffrey J. Diermeier, CFA, president and CEO, CFA Institute
