Critic reviews

“More interested in producing strong returns without big risk rather than following what's trendy...the long-term record is stunning.” —Morningstar

“One of the country's most successful money managers.” —Fortune magazine

Practical

The thing I loved about this book was that it provided practical information. Many of the things I have read regarding value investing thus far have been vague and very broad. This book actually spells out what you should be looking for and where. It offers insights that are useful and although value investing is somewhat of an art, I would still go as far as to say that it gives you a systematic framework to follow.

Excellent book covering Basics of Value Investing

To reiterate, covers the BASICS. Very easy to listen to and audible covers word for word the exact text if you have the books, so easy read/listen along.

Good introductory book.

In this time of quick-wins, here-and-now, this is a good reminder of more reliable long-term investing strategies. Quite a few ideas worth following up, in more details.

Enjoyable and Informative

Will not really close the deal on mechanics but worthwhile. An enjoyable reminder of things maybe forgotten.

Great book, and a must to listen to.

Great information to listen to. This is as easy as it can get when it comes to learning about value investing.

Worth your time.

Short, sweet, and to the point. Quality information for anyone looking into value investing. Good read.

Quick introduction to value investing

Any additional comments?

Value investing is the approach of many of the greatest investors in history... the idea of evaluating a business based upon the fundamentals of the business, and only buying it when it is selling at a good price is the foundation of this approach. This book is one that provides a good introduction to the approach.

Really liked it even if nothing new under the sun

Nothing new, but I really liked some interesting nuggets. I really loved the comparison of Value investing with Planting crops. And watching grass it's really mind opening.

Not bad

A bit slow and rambling but with good wisdom. Im surprised he didn't put more emphasis on ROE

Great Insights on The Magic of Value Investing

The book provided great insights to me and the many other Graham disciples on the magic of Value Investing. You can't time the markets. The only way to get ahead and stay ahead is by buying companies where you are paying the equivalent of 60 cents on the dollar. That margin of safety will almost but guarantee the stock price will rise over time. The concept is so easy but so many people don't have the discipline of the wherewithal to do it. For many value investing is boring. But how can making lots of money be boring? Take the concepts in this book and run with them.
