| | Customer Reviews: Bible of Finance (28 December 2009)This book is Bible of finance and is a must read.It teaches us basic principal of value investing but the most important lesson from the book is how to control and win over oneself and gives numerous example of failure who did not follow basic principal of "Investing" or value investing. Amazing introduction to value investment (20 December 2009)This has to be one of the greatest books written on investment, this book does not promise to make you a millionaire in 2 or 3 years. It does however deliver on teaching safe value investment techniques, which when followed correctly can give give solid returns. There is a bit of maths involved, but it should not be beyond most people. Graham's technique is based on numbers and figures, hence the mathematics cannot be ignored. The commentary by Zwieg has got some stick in the reviews, however it does provide investment novices with more contemporary examples of applying Graham's rules and techniques. If you find in some cases Zweig is contradicting Graham's advice just ignore Zweig and take Graham's word. Excellent book, and a must for anyone interested in investment. Classic Value Investors (15 November 2009)This is a great book for value investors. I agree with Warren Buffett, who said that Chapter 8 and 20 are the most important chapters. Chapter 8 talks about how investors should behave during market fluctuations, and Chapter 20 talks about the margin of safety. - Mariusz Skonieczny, author of Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market? Learn how to invest your money, how to pick stocks, and how to make money in the stock market Would be better without Jason Zweig's bit (04 June 2009)I totally agree with one of the other reviews on this page. Graham's bits are outstanding, but the book overall is ruined by Jason Zweig's commentaries. I realise some may argue that I should just skip those, however it means you spend all of your time skipping chapters and reading half-filled pages that are padded out with loads of footnotes. I eventually gave my copy to a charity shop and bought the original 1949 edition and really enjoyed it. It's just shame that you can't get the later edition in its original format. One advantage the original book has is - for those that like firm guidelines - it sets out example criteria for picking stocks and is a far more practical version. The downside is there are chapters on bonds that no longer relevant. A classic to own (23 May 2009)I consider this book and edition a must-have and the most useful book I ever read on investing. Graham's parts are very well written and his arguments are easy to follow. Some of the examples, trading related comments and tax considerations are very specific for mid 20th century U.S., but not too much so to make the text hard to follow (I'm from Sweden). The "Graham and Doddsville" speech from Buffett is great, but available on-line. Jason Zweig's comments are a mixed bag, just like someone commented here, but I wouldn't want to leave them out. Sometimes he succeeds in bringing Graham's argumentation into a modern context, and to provide more recent examples. But sometimes he gets a bit repetitive with the dot.com remarks, and sometimes he strays a bit too far from Graham's views and adds opinions that even contradicts them. | |
