Recommend this for people who are just starting!

Benjamin Graham is known as the father of value investing and his first Security Analysis book is a great read. However in The Intelligent Investor his sound logic and advice when it comes to emotional temperaments as well as distinguishing between traders vs investors was invaluable! Behavior affects so much more than market timing and I feel fortunate to pick up a book with wisdom for those who seek it. Some things feel outdated because the market is trend-heavy these days, but the way of thinking will be valuable for years into the future. Be smart. Be prudent. take a LOOK!

Great book, a little long winded, but an excellent education on the art of understanding stock investing.

Warren claims that this book changed his way of thinking about “how to invest intelligently”, and if we see what Warren Buffet has accomplished so far, we all need to take his advice’s seriously. In conclusion, this book helped me a lot understanding how the stock market works, and how to invest intelligently. In today’s time, we are constantly “bombarded” by different kind of ads promoting “how to invest in stocks”. But, when I read this book, it changed my opinion completely. These days online “gurus” are constantly promoting trading every day, or every hour, and this book isn’t anything like that. There are section in this book that is talking about these kind of traders. Basically, Brokers makes all the money when you trade often, you have to pay them a fee, no matter whether you make or loose money. Investing in “bubble” it’s also a common problem, when too many people starts to buy one particular stock, and their prices goes up and up, but there are nothing valuable behind that stock, that could justify the high price of that stock.
