About the book
This is the second book authored by the father of modern security analysis, Benjamin Graham. This revised edition spans 623 pages and is moderately challenging to read. This edition also comes with a commentary by well-known author Jason Zweig.
Contents
This book contains 20 chapters covering topics such as: investment vs speculation, the investor and inflation, up to the margin of safety principle. Furthermore, each chapter ends with a chapter commentary by Jason Zweig.
Review
This work was first published in the 1970s and as such, discusses companies,stocks, and bonds that were popular during those times. As such, young investors born much later than that period will have difficulty relating with it. However, this is offset by the more modern commentary provided at the end of each chapter.
Difficulty Level = 3/5
For me, this is easier to understand as compared to Security Analysis. However, more modern investment books can be easier to understand.
Personal Rating = 4.5/5
This is one of the investment classic books that every investor has to read. Those new to investing and have little knowledge in it may opt to delay reading this fine work.
