The Intelligent Investor is by far the best book about investing ever written. Graham was my teacher and this is his masterwork.

Benjamin Graham's margin of safety concept is the foundation of rational investing. Everything else is noise.

They don't realize that a book can be the greatest investment you ever make in your life that's what Warren Buffett said. He said the single best investment he ever made was buying a copy of Benjamin Graham's Intelligent Investor.
