Pros & Cons
Pros
Graham is known for inspiring warren buffett, and many other major investors. This is a fantastic, in depth investment book written by one of the greatest investors. Lots of good lessons about investing and life in general.
Even with this the book is somewhat 'old-fashioned' but containts wisdom that isn't going to fade for a while yet.
Cons
Wouldn't recommend for beginners. Was very convoluted and the pages were filled with numbers. Information and concept is there but really outdated.
Highlights
Quality
It’s an excellent and comprehensive book about investing written in an easy readable style and understandable by most people
Brilliant real world examples given and insightfully written and updated all these years
Excellent book but can be pretty dry at points
I have the hardcopy but having the audiobook makes it more convenient to listen in the car to and from work
Competitiveness
It outlasts many other texts because in the many oscillations of markets it explains the reasons for the many market variations
