    Description of The Intelligent Investor

    The classic bestseller by Benjamin Graham, The Intelligent Investor has taught and inspired hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Since its original publication in 1949, Benjamin Graham's book has remained the most respected guide to investing, due to his timeless philosophy of "value investing", which helps protect investors against the areas of possible substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies with which they will be comfortable down the road.

    Over the years, market developments have borne out the wisdom of Graham's basic policies, and in today's volatile market, The Intelligent Investor is the most important book you will ever read on making the right decisions to protect your investments and make them a success. Featuring new chapter updates - which append every chapter of Graham's book, leaving his original text untouched - from noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, this HarperBusiness Essentials edition of the timeless classic offers readers an even clearer understanding of Graham's wisdom as it should be applied today.

    'The Intelligent Investor is the best book ever written for the stockholder' says the author and investment counsellor John Train. Benjamin Graham's classic work offers sound and safe principles for investing - principles that have worked for more than forty years since the first edition was published. With an introduction and appendix by Warren Buffet, one of Graham's most famous students in investing strategy, this book takes account of both the defensive and the enterprising investor.

    'By far the best book on investment ever written.'

    - Andrew Tobias

    'Graham ranks as this century's (and perhaps history's) most important thinker on applied portfolio investment.'
    - John Train, author of The Money Masters, The New Money Masters and The Craft Of Investing
