Margin of Safety [Hardback]Risk-Averse Value Investing Strategies for the Thoughtful Investorby Seth KlarmanThis book is OUT OF PRINT You may be able to find a copy at ABE Books Description of Margin of SafetyKlarman takes the mystery out of value investing, showing there's nothing esoteric about it - it's simply the process of determining the value underlying a security and then buying it at a considerable discount from that value. The greatest challenge for the investor, he believes, is to develop the patience and discipline to buy only when prices are attractive and sell when they're not - avoiding the short-term performance frenzy that engulfs most players. Klarman argues that junk bond mania, for example, was a not once-in-a-millenium madness, but only a point along the historical ebb and flow of investor greed and fear. From this very avoidable debacle, investors can learn to escape the next enticing market fad that's sure to come along.To achieve long-term investment success through bull and bear markets and changing economic cycles, simply observing a few rules isn't enough. Nor can investment success be captured in a mathematical equation or computer program; there is no free lunch or golden road in serious investing. Margin Of Safety shows you not just how to invest but how to think deeply about investing - to understand the rationale behind the rules to appreciate why they work when they work, and why they don't when they don't.
