The first time I read the original Security Analysis written by Benjamin Graham, I felt it was somehow hard to absorb. To get a real traction of the book I had to go through many of the chapters multiple times. The book was written many decades ago and that is probably the reason that it is hard to read today. I guess my opinion is shared by others as well, regardless their competence level in finance, investment and accounting etc.This summary book is a great tool and will support anyone that want to read and understand Graham’s original work. Graham’s original work is considered by many as the bible to value investing and hence a compulsory read. This summary book, if read in parallel to Graham’s original work, will certainly save you much time by making the original work immediate more understandable. This will certainly be applicable to all beginners but I also believe it will be a great aid to more advanced investors. At least this summary was a great help to me and I still use it if I just want to look up something quickly.
Too many books are written for the investing novice. Not anything bad to say about novices, we all have to start somewhere. But it seems to me that most books are written for absolute beginners teaching the reader what a “compounding interest” is.Specifically for value investing it seems like all good content is written before 1950 in a language no one gets today. However, the new literature might be well written, but the pointers merely seem to be a vague echo of the original words from Benjamin Graham.This summary book contains the same powerful insight that has laid the foundation for Warren Buffett’s investment philosophy, but contrarily to the original book, it is very easy to understand and apply. So in short: If you are ready to take the next step education yourself in the area of value investing, but don’t want to read the original 800 pages from Benjamin Graham – this is the book for you!
I personally had to read and listen to the original Security Analysis multiple times before i could consume even part of the information in it. I think this book does a very good job at distilling the information in it ,and provides an easy way to process it. Being a full time student my brain is always about to explode, so it's nice to be able to get a quick refresher of concepts without wanting to curl up in a ball and cry in a corner. Understand that this won't replace reading the original book though.#1 reason you should buy this book. You are probably buying this book because you are, or are researching to become a value based investor. This book currently cost $2.99. So in theory if this book provides you with information that saves you from making a mistake that cost you $3.00 or more. You are buying something below it's value.
Bought it as a group of books for my son Very pleased.
