Benjamin Graham on Value Investing,
by Janet Lowe.
 Janet Lowe has researched Benjamin Graham,
the father of modern securities analysis, more thoroughly and in greater
detail than any other contemporary writer. This well-written 1994 book
informs the reader not only about Graham’s investment approach but also
about his rich and varied life. As one might expect, Lowe details
Graham’s history as an academic researcher and money manager, and she
describes his painstaking search for investment bargains, his general
skepticism of corporate financial reporting, his emphasis on independent
thought and patience, and his advocacy of shareholders’ rights.
However, not content to portray only the well known pioneer of
investment theory, Lowe also focuses attention on the details of
Graham’s life as a college professor, playwright and student of the
classics. Modern ‘Graham and Dodd’ investors, as well as those with an
interest in the history of investing, will undoubtedly enjoy this book.
Those who wish to focus mainly on investment theory should read The
Intelligent Investor and Security Analysis first. |
