The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham

After graduating from Columbia University, Graham worked on Wall Street, earning a considerable amount of money over 15 years. But in 1929, with the fall of Wall Street, he, like all shareholders, plunged into recession and lost his property. These experiences taught him to invest in low-risk but profitable companies. In The Intelligent Investor, Benjamin Graham introduces the concept of value investment and conveys the concept of value investment to the reader in relatively simple language.

Introducing the concept of value investing in the summary of The Intelligent Investor
 In The Intelligent Investor, Graham, as the author of the book, uses the parable of Mr. Bazaar to simplify the abstract concepts of equity for the general public. In general, Graham teaches investors to approach a stock by considering the hidden value of a stock and reap the fruits of their patience in the long run.

“The most realistic distinction between the investor and the speculator is found in their attitude towards stock-market movements. The speculator’s primary interest lies in anticipating and profiting from market fluctuations. The investor’s primary interest lies in acquiring and holding suitable securities at suitable prices. Market movements are important to him in a practical sense because they alternately create low price levels at which he would be wise to buy and high price levels at which he certainly should refrain from buying and probably would be wise to sell. It is far from certain that the typical investor should regularly hold off buying until low market levels appear, because this may involve a long wait, very likely the loss of income, and the possible missing of investment opportunities. On the whole, it may be better for the investor to do his stock buying whenever he has money to put in stocks, except when the general market level is much higher than can be justified by well-established standards of value. If he wants to be shrewd he can look for the ever-present bargain opportunities in individual securities. ”
