The Tale of Investing Prodigy: Benjamin Graham


Investment Style

"In 1984, [Warren] Buffet returned to Columbia to give a speech commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of "Security Analysis". During that speech, he presented his own investment record as well as those of Ruane, Knapp, and Schloss [other successful investment managers who were students of Graham at Columbia]. In short, each of these men posted investment results that blew away the returns of the overall market. Buffett noted that each of the portfolios varied greatly in the number and type of stocks, but what did not vary was the managers' adherence to Graham's investment principles", as stated by Morningstar's online Interactive Classroom about Graham's investment style.

It is difficult to explain his investment style in few words or a paragraph. He believed value investing is a investment which should have more worth than an investor can pay for it. According to him, one should do a thorough analysis which is also known as fundamental analysis. He said, "To achieve satisfactory investment results is easier than most people realize; to achieve superior results is harder than it looks."
