An
Extraordinary Rarity:
Graham and Dodd's Security Analysis
First edition, first issue |
 |
"An
astonishingly large portion of those trading common stocks don’t
appear to know—in polite terms—one part of their anatomy from
another."
—Benjamin
Graham |
Of profound influence,
Graham and Dodd’s Security Analysis formed the foundation of a
new discipline, introducing to the financial world the now-essential
concepts of security analysis, fundamental analysis, and value
investing. Graham and Dodd transformed investing from what was often a
purely speculative business with decisions based on misinformation,
reaction, and emotion to a legitimate science based on systematic
reason, logic, and analysis.
