Legendary investing author and philosopher Benjamin Graham lived through
interesting times. Soon after his graduation from Columbia College, the nation entered the
First World War. As the stock market fluctuated in wild dips and peaks, the government
seized control of the railroad industry, inflation and interest rates rose dramatically,
and economic depression loomed on the horizon.
During these events and perhaps inspired by them Graham began writing articles for The
Magazine of Wall Street, putting to paper his earliest ideas on value investing and
security analysis.
For the first time, these important works have been anthologized into a single volume.
Benjamin Graham on Investing is a treasure trove of rare and out-of-print articles that
document the early flashes of genius from a man whose ideas and theories would
revolutionize investment philosophy and inspire the careers of such luminaries as Warren
Buffett, Seth Klarman, Charlie Munger, and countless other top-tier investors.
The early works of Benjamin Graham have never been as relevant as they are today. The
world?s markets are undergoing changeon a scale not unlike that of Graham?s era. David
Darst, one of the world?s most respected experts on asset allocation, provides insightful
analyses connecting Graham?s articles to events today.
