First published in 1949 and often called the investor's bible, Graham's book teaches a calm, careful approach to investing. The revised edition adds commentary by Jason Zweig that links Graham's lessons to modern markets.

Three big ideas

  1. Investing is not speculatingAn investment protects your money and aims for a fair return after careful study. Anything else is speculation.
  2. Meet Mr. MarketThe market is like a moody partner who offers silly prices on some days. You can use his moods, but you don't have to follow them.
  3. Keep a margin of safetyBuy only when the price is well below what something is worth, so mistakes and bad luck hurt less.
