Publisher’s Summary
“By far the best book on investing ever written.” — Warren Buffett
The classic text of Benjamin Graham’s seminal The Intelligent Investor has now been revised and annotated to update the 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 revised edition of The Intelligent Investor is the most important book you will ever read on how to reach your financial goals.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
4/5 stars — “Would be 5 stars if this gets updated”
Much of this book focuses it’s analysis on the 1960s through 1970 as well as the tech bubble and subsequent crash (roughly 1999-2002.)While many of Graham’s fundamental principals are still applicable today, such as the importance of establishing a margin of safety, much of it focuses on individual and conservative stock picking. These days, similar exposure can be achieved by buying an index fund, a point Ben Zweig mentions in his commentary.
Further, many of the examples of extreme losses, irrational investors, and obscenely overpriced issues in the commentary (1999-2002) focus on tech stocks. It would be interesting to see this book updated to include examples during a period more characteristic of typical market conditions.

5/5 stars — “Crucial investing insight, but not for beginners”
My first investing book I have ever read, and it was very intimidating to me at first since I was unfamiliar with much of the terminology. However, I decided to go through the book very slowly while concurrently researching things I did not understand, which helped me comprehend the material better. Overall, this is one of those books that I will keep close during my lifetime of investing as it contains the timeless principles of intelligent investing. I am planning on rereading this book in the future as I try to digest all the new information.— Dara Safe, Audible listener
4/5 stars — “Ok”
Way too many technical details and examples to absorb properly in audio format. Hard to follow.— jg, Audible listener
