Title: Advice for life
Product review: This is the bible for the indivdual small investor. My copy is highlighted and full of notes. I read and read it again and again. However dated, the Intelligent Investor simplifies investing down to a few basics. It is managing fear and greed. It is exhaustively researching the company and the balance sheet. You learn to grasp the concept of owning the company and its assests vs speculating by renting the stock. It is patience to stick by your choices. It really boils down to junior high math and adult decisions when facing emotions. If you look at the family tree of Graham... aka the Super Investors of Graham and Doddsville (Buffett, Schloss, Knapp, among others) each had at their DNA core the principals of Graham but grew to be different in many respects. I highly endorse the book as a core foundation to any investment library.
