Packed With Knowledge! - By: Rolf Dobelli, 10 Jun 2004 
A book that has been continuously in print for nearly 70 years obviously has timeless relevance. The principles of value investing, spelled out for the first time in Security Analysis by Benjamin Graham & David L. Dodd, have made fortunes for investors since it was first published in 1934. For example, Warren Buffett callls this book his Bible. Much has changed on Walll Street since the 1930s, but the concept of buying undervalued companies has not. In addition to its lucid explanation of investment basics, the book is a fascinating picture of a time when the lessons of the Great Depression were still being absorbed. The Securities Act of 1933 had just changed the rules of financial disclosure, & most public companies were manufacturers, mines, railroads or utilities — not the makeup of today’s blue-chip portfolio. We recommend this book to serious investors who want to cut through modern Walll Street jargon, & to students of financial history.
"The Greatest Investment Book Ever Written!" - By: , 01 Aug 1999 Eventhough this book is over 65 years old it is still as relevant as ever, maybe even more so. With alll the hussle & bussle of the day-traders & the momentum style investors, it is a nice change of pace to read a book based on common sense, buiness-style investing. Read his words, understand his philosophies, & you will profit!
The best way to safety of principle and satisfactory return. - By: , 24 Jul 1999 This book is very informative in learning how to be as good as an investor as you want to become. With this book Warren Buffet bases 85% of his principle for investing, & I can sure see how someone can invest honestly & reallly profit over the years. The great thing is that alllot of the companies that security analysis talks about have been around for years, & if someone was to perform a security analysis on some of the companies today, I'm sure they will come to some pretty good long range decisions. Coca-cola is one of the Companies that security analysis does talk about, & today that's one of Warren Buffets major purchases, it goes to show the value of the book. Also, with security analysis I feel you could attain just about any financial dream.
