The classic bestseller by Benjamin Graham, perhaps the greatest investment advisor of the Twentieth Century, 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 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 Benjamin Graham's basic policies. Here he takes account of both the defensive and the enterprising investor, outlining the principles of stock selection for each, and stressing the advantages of a simple portfolio policy. This tape demonstrates that the continued success of common stocks cannot be taken for granted. Among its special features are the use of numerous comparisons of pairs of common stocks to bring out their elements of strength and weakness, and also the construction of investment portfolios designed to meet specific requirements of quality and price attractiveness.

Benjamin Graham (1894-1976), the father of value investing, was perhaps the most influential investor of all time. His books are investment classics, with The Intelligent Investor (first published in 1949) and Securities Analysis (1934) selling steadily. His life and work have been inspiration for many of today's most successful businessmen, including Warren Buffett.

本傑明•格雷厄姆（Benjamin Graham，1894～1976年）美國經濟學傢和投資思想傢，投資大師， “現代證券分析之父”， 價值投資理論奠基人。格雷厄姆生於倫敦，成長於紐約，畢業於哥倫比亞大學。著有《證券分析》(1934年)和《聰明的投資者》(1949年)，這兩本書被公認為“劃時代的、裏程碑式的投資聖經”，至今仍極為暢銷。格雷厄姆不僅是沃倫•巴菲特就讀哥倫比亞大學經濟學院的研究生導師，而且被巴菲特膜拜為其一生的“精神導師”，“血管裏流淌的血液80%來自於格雷厄姆”。格雷厄姆在投資界的地位，相當於物理學界的愛因斯坦，生物學界的達爾文。作為一代宗師，他的證券分析學說和思想在投資領域産生瞭極為巨大的震動，影響瞭幾乎三代重要的投資者。如今活躍在華爾街的數十位上億的投資管理人都自稱為格雷厄姆的信徒，因此，享有“華爾街教父”的美譽。
