Product description
Review
"By far the best book on investing ever written." -- Warren Buffett
"If you read just one book on investing during your lifetime, make it this one" -- Fortune
"The wider Mr. Graham's gospel spreads, the more fairly the market will deal with its public." -- Barron's
From the Back Cover
The greatest investment advisor of the twentieth century, Benjamin Graham taught and inspired people worldwide. Graham's philosophy of "value investing"--which shields investors from substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies--has made The Intelligent Investor the stock market bible ever since its original publication in 1949.
Over the years, market developments have proven the wisdom of Graham's strategies. While preserving the integrity of Graham's original text, this revised edition includes updated commentary by noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, whose perspective incorporates the realities of today's market, draws parallels between Graham's examples and today's financial headlines, and gives readers a more thorough understanding of how to apply Graham's principles.
Vital and indispensable, The Intelligent Investor is the most important book you will ever read on how to reach your financial goals.

Benjamin Graham (/ɡræm/; born Benjamin Grossbaum; May 8, 1894 – September 21, 1976) was a British-born American economist and professional investor. Graham is considered the father of value investing, an investment approach he began teaching at Columbia Business School in 1928 and subsequently refined with David Dodd through various editions of their famous book Security Analysis. Graham had many disciples in his lifetime, a number of whom went on to become successful investors themselves. Graham's most well-known disciples include Warren Buffett, William J. Ruane, Irving Kahn and Walter J. Schloss, among others. Buffett, who credits Graham as grounding him with a sound intellectual investment framework, described him as the second most influential person in his life after his own father. In fact, Graham had such an overwhelming influence on his students that two of them, Buffett and Kahn, named their sons Howard Graham Buffett and Thomas Graham Kahn after him. Graham also taught at the UCLA Anderson School of Management.

Reading a book that spells out that investment methodology is a revelation. Warren Buffet specifically wrote to Graham asking to attend his class at Columbia University.
The methodology is very risk averse. This book was written in 1948, with the Great Depression still visible in the rear view mirror.
Definitely recommend the book but you need to have read some other books on the mechanics of how the stock market works before tackling this book.
Also recommend Security Analysis by the same authors - I'd read this book first.
The book does not teach someone how to make
millions but rather recommends a patient attitude to achieve long term sustainable growth. It emphasizes caution and establishes the market as a means to supplement income rather than being the primary source.
Absolutely recommended for those who want to get a little more out of their savings and those who are starting to look into investing.

Las finanzas, la inversión es un tema, o un conocimiento, que podría ser el más útil de todos además de la propia lengua y las matemáticas.
Es la única manera de ser independiente y libre verdaderamente.
Hay partes del libro algo más duras de leer para quienes no están muy metidos en el tema y otras que parecen obsoletas, pero en realidad es un libro ameno que se lee fácil y relativamente rápido.
Lo dicho: un imprescindible para cualquier persona que se precie.
Aprende todo lo que puedas, ahorra, invierte sabiamente, ten paciencia... y sé libre del Estado y sus corruptos políticos totalitarios... y de tu jefe.
