Now available for the first time in paperback! The Classic Text Annotated to Update Graham's Timeless Wisdom for Today's Market Conditions The greatest investment advisor of the twentieth century, Benjamin Graham taught and inspired people worldwide. Graham's philosophy of "value investing" -- which shields investors from substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies -- has made The Intelligent Investor the stock market bible ever since its original publication in 1949. Over the years, market developments have proven the wisdom of Graham's strategies. While preserving the integrity of Graham's original text, this revised edition includes updated commentary by noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, whose perspective incorporates the realities of today's market, draws parallels between Graham's examples and today's financial headlines, and gives readers a more thorough understanding of how to apply Graham's principles. Vital and indispensable, this HarperBusiness Essentials edition of The Intelligent Investor is the most important book you will ever read on how to reach your financial goals.

Rules for the Common - Stock Component
1. There should be adequate though not excessive diversification. This might mean a minimun of ten different issues and a maximun of about thirty
2. Each company selected should be large, prominent, and conservatively financed. Indefinite as these adjectives must be, their general sense is clear.
3. Each company should have a long record of continuous dividend payments. ( All the issues in the Dow Jones Industrial Average met this dividend requirement in 1971) To be specific on this point we would suggest the requirement of continuous devidend payments beginning at least in 1950.
4. The investor should impose some limit on the price he will pay for an issue in relation to its avrage earnings over, say, the past seven years. We suggest that this limit be set at 25 times such average earnings, and not more than 20 times those of the last twelve-month period. But such a restriction would eliminate nearly all the strongest and most popular companies from the protfolio. In particular, it would ban virtually the entrie category of "growth stovks," which have for some years past been the ffavorites of both speculators and institutional investors. We must give our reasons for proposing so drastic an exclusion.
Preffered stocks VS common stocks
preferred stock usually do not give shareholders voting rights, while common stock does, usually at one vote per share owned
preferred stockholders have a greater claim to a company's asstes and earnings. The dividends are usually highers than common stocks

all of human unhappiness comes from one single thing: not knowing how to remain at rest in a room.-Blaise Pascal
Graham's definition of investing :
- An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis, promises safety of principal and an adequate return
- you must thoroughly analyze a company, and the soundness of its underlying businesses, before you buy its stock;
-you must deliberately protect yourself against serious losses
- you must aspire to "adequate", not extraordinary, performance.
