The Wisdom of Great Investors Benjamin Graham (1894-1976) is considered to be the father of value investing and he and David Dodd published the Security Analysis in 1934. Benjamin Graham was Warren Buffett’s teacher and to date, Security Analysis has had five editions and sold nearly a million copies. Security Analysis has been continuously in print for more than 60 years and remains the investors' bible but it is heavy going which is why Ben Graham wrote The Intelligent Investor, original publication in 1949. The Intelligent Investor is without doubt the definitive book on Value Investing and I strongly recommend you have read because for one thing it explains why part time investors should never ever hold direct stocks. One of Benjamin Graham’s great quotes is that… “Individuals who cannot master their emotions are ill-suited to profit from the investment process.” At Newealth we are always looking to innovate and improve our ongoing advice and services wherever possible and if you have any ideas or comments, please feel free to email me at invest@newealth.com.au or to call me on +61 2 9267 2322.
