The intelligent investor: The Definitive Book On Value Investing, Revised Edition
By: Benjamin Graham

Considered by Warren Buffett one of the best written books, The intelligent investor is the first book to describe for individual investors, the emotional framework and analytical instruments essential to financial success. A definitive guide to classical value investing, the book is directed to investors as distinguished from speculators. The author successfully tries to supply guidance in the adoption of an investment policy and avoidance of possible substantial errors. From the beginning of the book Graham says that he shall not intend to explain how to beat the market but how to minimize the odds of suffering irreversible losses and maximise the chances of achieving sustainable gains. Also, a particular accent is put on the investor's psihology, for "the fault dear investor, is not in our stars - and not in our stocks - but in ourselves"(Graham).
