The Intelligent Investor Book by Benjamin Graham

In ‘The Intelligent Investor,’ little time is spent discussing the technique of analyzing securities. Instead, great focus is placed on investment principles and investors’ attitudes. Although ‘The Intelligent Investor’ was first published in 1949, the underlying principles of good investment do not change from decade to decade. Consequently, in ‘The Intelligent Investor,’ Benjamin Graham aims to teach us three things:

1)How to minimize the chances of suffering irreversible losses

2)How to maximize the chance of achieving sustainable wins

3)How to overcome self-defeating modes of thought that often prevent investors from reaching their full potential.
