Publisher's Summary

"A road map for investing that I have now been following for 57 years." (From the Foreword by Warren E. Buffett)

First published in 1934, Security Analysis is one of the most influential financial books ever written. Selling more than one million copies through five editions, it has provided generations of investors with the timeless value investing philosophy and techniques of Benjamin Graham and David L. Dodd. 

As relevant today as when they first appeared nearly 75 years ago, the teachings of Benjamin Graham, “the father of value investing”, have withstood the test of time across a wide diversity of market conditions, countries, and asset classes. 

This new sixth edition, based on the classic 1940 version, is enhanced with commentary from some of today’s leading Wall Street money managers. These masters of value investing explain why the principles and techniques of Graham and Dodd are still highly relevant even in today’s vastly different markets. The contributor list includes: 

• Seth A. Klarman, president of The Baupost Group, LLC and author of Margin of Safety
• James Grant, founder of Grant's Interest Rate Observer, general partner of Nippon Partners 
• Jeffrey M. Laderman, twenty-five year veteran of BusinessWeek
• Roger Lowenstein, author of Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist and When America Aged and Outside Director, Sequoia Fund 
• Howard S. Marks, CFA, Chairman and Co-Founder, Oaktree Capital Management LP 
• J. Ezra Merkin, Managing Partner, Gabriel Capital Group 
• Bruce Berkowitz, Founder, Fairholme Capital Management 
• Glenn H. Greenberg, Co-Founder and Managing Director, Chieftain Capital Management 
• Bruce Greenwald, Robert Heilbrunn Professor of Finance and Asset Management, Columbia Business School 
• David Abrams, Managing Member, Abrams Capital

Featuring a foreword by Warren E. Buffett (in which he reveals that he has read the 1940 masterwork “at least four times”), this new edition of Security Analysis will reacquaint you with the foundations of value investing - more relevant than ever in the tumultuous 21st century markets.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Amazing Book

Great book, got it after listening to the intelligent investor. Needs to be a part of every investors digital bookshelf.

I really tried to get through it...

I could not even get half way through the book, I was so bored. Basically the book has not changed much-It mostly talks about bonds, stocks and such from the 30's and 40's, as if it was the same time period. I had hopes that there would be more current material added, but alas, I was very disappointed..

Important - thought somewhat tedious

This is a research piece - not a story. At times it has to be endured as such. But the information is important to the extent that money is important in your life.

Needs work

The book is great, but I the voice sounds a bit muffled and the accompanying PDF is close to useless with no apparent indexing to the chapter it's referenced at as well as incredibly low resolution quality.

Wow

This took a looooonnnggg time lol but d@mn that was good $h!t...
Probably need to listen to it again though....

please get an audible version of second edition.

I'd love a version with Warren Buffett doing the preface, and the rest all Benjamin Graham. Particularly the second edition. Thanks

Must Read!

If you have any interest in investing or going on a asset management career this is the book for you!!

The definitive text on stock market investing

Security Analysis is the definitive text on long-term stock market investing as empirical data points to a persistent value premium over growth stocks, confirming the investing philosophy of Graham and Dodd. The lessons in this text are timeless.

The only drawback of this audiobook that it is hard to understand the tables, hard to listen to but easier when reading the actual book.

just wow... astonished

loved it and can't wait to read it again and again.
very refreshing and informative

A OK

Good foder for thought. A bit dry and long. May help some get in the right frame of thought.

Excellent audiobook with many examples missing from the pdf

Excellent audiobook on value investing with many examples missing from the pdf. Otherwise would have given it 5 stars.

Difficult to listen to

It's a valuable book, no question about that but i think it is best read on paper. Very difficult to listen to as an audiobook and constantly find myself zoning out, mostly due to the narrarators monotonatic voice.
