I found this essay entitled “Lesson and Ideas from Benjamin Graham” by Jason Zweig.


Excerpt:
In June 2003, HarperCollins Publishers asked if I would be interested in updating Benjamin Graham’s classic The Intelligent Investor.1 After determining that the proposal was not somebody’s idea of a practical joke, I agreed to take on the project. And as I worked on revising the book, I was reminded, once again, what a genius Graham was. So, in the course of this presentation, I will discuss the following:
• the things that made him famous,

• the factors that caused his reputation to drop out of fashion,

• the insights that make him relevant today, and

• the many ways in which he showed himself to be a man of brilliance.


Enjoy:
