The Intelligent Investor: Seven Key Takeaways
I just finished reading “The Intelligent Investor” by Benjamin Graham, which is widely considered one of the top investing books. If you want to get a summary of the salient points, you are in the right place.
This book happens to be the hardest investing book I have ever read. It’s very complex and covers a lot of examples of situations that occurs in Graham’s Wall Street history, which was between the mid 1910’s to around 1970. If you can get past that, which I did in about 18 months, you will see that history in fact does rhyme, and the basic data does apply.
It should be noted that Graham was also a mentor to Warren Buffett. Buffet used Graham’s method of analysis in his own way to become one of the greatest investors of all-time.
