The Intelligent Investor: The Classic Best Seller on Value Investing
Good Audio Books
The classic best seller by Benjamin Graham, perhaps the greatest investment advisor of the 20th century, The Intelligent Investor
has taught and inspired hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.
Since its original publication in 1949, Benjamin Graham's book has
remained the most respected guide to investing, due to his timeless
philosophy of "value investing", which helps protect investors against
areas of (possible) substantial error and teaches them to develop
long-term strategies which they will be comfortable with down the road.
Among
this audiobook's special features are the use of numerous comparisons
of pairs of common stocks to bring out their elements of strength and
weakness and the construction of investment portfolios designed to meet
specific requirements of quality and price attractiveness.
"very useful, unfortunately abridged"
This book is extremely valuable for any investor. It gives
you the plateform to become a true investor rather than speculator. But,
unfortunately it is not available as unabridged.If you get unabridged
than you are very lucky and go ahead beore spending your hard earned
money unintelligently
"Great book, awful abridged version"
What would have made The Intelligent Investor better?
I shouldn't be so short. I
read the original printed version and there is so much more in it! They
basically read a summary of the book and sold it as an abridged version.
Total waste of a credit.
What could Benjamin Graham have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Nothing. The original book is awesome.
Would you be willing to try another one of Bill McGowan’s performances?
Yes. The narration was very good.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Not this version
Any additional comments?
I didn't know that an abridged version could be so much shorter then the original one.
"Investing vs. Speculation"
This is a philosophy of investing money in stocks and bonds.
It examines the behavior of the market since the depression and
illustrates the futility of trying to time the market or outsmart people
who spent 100 hours a week doing this for a living. Hedge fund managers
work from 4AM to 8PM every day chasing investments. Can you hope to
beat them by spending 30 minutes a day? Absolutely not! You have to take
a different tact than they do. Graham's value investing is one such
tact.
