Described in the original as a "thorough guide to the principles of portfolio creation, cost management, stock and bond picking, and stock ownership for the defensive, long term investor" Instaread describes the author's writing style as formal. Important to remember that Benjamin Graham's part of the book was written in 1973 with "large quotations of the 1960's editions of the book" thereby using some outdated language and "terms some investors might not be familiar with". Case studies are said to be dated although "principles themselves still applicable". There is said to be plenty of jargon throughout and even Zweig's portion of the book is outdated having been written prior to the 2008 recession.SO with all that out of the way is there any point in reading this book at all? Yes! If you are looking to do your own investing or want to know a little more then this could be quite an asset for you. HOWEVER I would highly recommend you read this Instaread summary (think DETAILED review) first before committing yourself to reading the original. With 9 Key Takeaways in this book let me give you a couple to whet your appetite:>> #3 - "The modern stock market favors speculation over investing and includes a large population of emotional, impatient stock buyers. They tend to purchase stock when it has already risen in value above its ideal price-to-earnings ratio, and sell it when it has already fallen from its highest price.">> #4 - "Investors with little time of interest to devote to their portfolios should invest primarily in mutual fund shares or index funds. After thorough research, investors may choose to have someone else manage their portfolios if no fund available offers the portfolio they want.
