The Intelligent Investor
This book was written in 1949 by Benjamin Graham. This book has been remarked by Warren Buffett as the best investing book ever written. Benjamin Graham is considered the "father of value investing," a paradigm that advocates the purchase of stocks that appear underpriced relative to their inherent value, which is determined through fundamental analysis. Graham delves into the history of the stock market, and informs the reader on conducting fundamental analysis on a stock. He discusses various ways of managing your portfolio including both a positive and defensive approach. He then compares the stocks of several companies to illustrate his points.
