Buffett First published in 1934, Security Analysis is one of the most influential financial books ever written. Selling more than one million copies through five editions, it has provided generations of investors with the timeless value investing philosophy and techniques of Benjamin Graham and David L. Dodd. As relevant today as when they first appeared nearly 75 years ago, the teachings of Benjamin Graham, “the father of value investing,” have withstood the test of time across a wide diversity of market conditions, countries, and asset classes. This new sixth edition, based on the classic 1940 version, is enhanced with 200 additional pages of commentary from some of today’s leading Wall Street money managers. These masters of value investing explain why the principles and techniques of Graham and Dodd are still highly relevant even in today’s vastly different markets. The contributor list includes: Seth A. Klarman, president of The Baupost Group, L.L.C. and author of Margin of Safety James Grant, founder of Grant's Interest Rate Observer, general partner of Nippon Partners Jeffrey M. Laderman, twenty-five year veteran of BusinessWeek Roger Lowenstein, author of Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist and When America Aged and Outside Director, Sequoia Fund Howard S. Marks, CFA, Chairman and Co-Founder, Oaktree Capital Management L.P. J. Ezra Merkin, Managing Partner, Gabriel Capital Group . Bruce Berkowitz, Founder, Fairholme Capital Management. Glenn H. Greenberg, Co-Founder and Managing Director, Chieftain Capital Management Bruce Greenwald, Robert Heilbrunn Professor of Finance and Asset Management, Columbia Business School David Abrams, Managing Member, Abrams Capital Featuring a foreword by Warren E. Buffett (in which he reveals that he has read the 1940 masterwork “at least four times”), this new edition of Security Analysis will reacquaint you with the foundations of value investing―more relevant than ever in the tumultuous 21st century markets.

I had studied finance and economics in college but it didn't really grab me. Looking back partly it was me but also it was the way it was taught. Stodgy old theories that really didn't make any sense to me. The Efficient Market Theory for instance. EMT says basically that the markets are fully efficient. That stocks are perfectly priced therefore there aren't any bargains. You have absolutely nothing to gain from fundamental analysis and if you do it you are wasting your time.

  • Notes from Security Analysis Sixth Edition Hardcover
    Ronald R. Redfield CPA, PFS Notes to book “Security Analysis” 6th edition Written by: Benjamin Graham and David Dodd I thought these quotes from Security Analysis Sixth Edition Hardcover might be food for thought. Benjamin Graham and David Dodd first wrote security Analysis in 1934. The first edition was described by Graham as a “book that is intended for all those who have a serious interest in securities values.” The book was not designed for the investment novice. One must have an intermediate to advanced understanding of financial statements, accounting and finance for the book to be understood. The book emphasizes logical reasoning. Graham wrote, “It is the conservative investor who will need most of all to be reminded constantly of the lessons of 1931 –1933 and of previous collapses.” On Page [xiv] Seth Klarman wrote: ”Losing money, as Graham noted, can also be psychologically unsettling. Anxiety from the financial damage caused by recently experienced loss or the fear of further loss can significantly impede our ability to take advantage of the next opportunity that comes along. If an undervalued stock falls by half while the fundamentals – after checking and rechecking – are confirmed to be unchanged, we should relish the opportunity to buy significantly more “on sale.” But if our net worth has tumbled along with the share price, it may be psychologically difficult to add to the position.” On Page [xviii] Klarman wrote: ”Skepticism and judgment are always required.” “Because the value of a business depends on numerous variables,

Fol- Olowing a nearly decade-long bull market, the Dow reached a peak of 381.17. It then began a long and sharp decline, plunging to a sickening 41.22 in 1932, ruining many investors. Finally, the Dow recovered to the low 200s, which represented a “normal” level for the time. Serious investors wondered if these were random moves. Or could an intelligent investor determine “reasonable” levels for stock market prices and profit from this knowledge? In 1934, a pair of investors, Benjamin Graham and David Dodd, began to make sense out of the wreckage. The problem during the late 1920s was that easy money, easy credit, and the resulting go-go era had turned the stock market from an investment vehicle into one of speculation. (This hap- pened again in the mid-1960s and again in the late 1990s.) Stock prices had become divorced, in most cases, from the underlying value of the compa- nies they represented. It took corrections of exceptional violence in the early 1930s, the early 1970s, and, by our reckoning, to come in the mid-2000s, to restore the link between stock prices and underlying values. In retrospect, one could, by careful analysis, find a reasonable basis for stock evaluations even in the Depression environment of the 1930s. Graham and Dodd were among the first investors to make the transi- tion from thinking like traders to thinking like owners.

  • The Evolution of Quantitative Investment Strategies
    INVESTMENT VIEWPOINTS MARCH 2015 The Evolution of Quantitative Investment Strategies Executive Summary Quantitative equity investing has been an evolutionary process from its inception, and one whose practitioners hold certain tenets—disciplined adherence to a research-driven process, objectively engineered alpha, and awareness of systematic risks. Five years after the financial crisis, quantitative strategies are gaining investor interest precisely because the systematic application of these principles has resulted in attractive risk-adjusted returns. Contrast this view with conditions that prevailed during the crisis, which left many investors disappointed Vinod Chandrashekaran, Ph.D. in the performance of quantitative approaches. Senior Vice President Director of Quantitative Research and Portfolio Management As investment professionals, we understand that investment strategies naturally tend to come in and out of favor. Because of changing investor perception of these strategies, we believe this is an appropriate juncture to revisit the history of quantitative equity investing and provide greater context around these approaches. We explain why quantitative equity investing is well positioned to provide attractive long-term performance. Quantitative investing is an approach with a distinguished academic pedigree stretching back to the early 20th century. Enduring behavioral and market inefficiencies identified by academic research and investment practitioners in the years since support the notion that quantitative approaches remain compelling. We conclude that quantitative investing remains a viable, attractive approach, reflecting the fact that it is data driven, testable, and easily given to rigorous self-examination and process improvement. This natural inclination of quantitative practitioners means they are well positioned to learn prior lessons and apply them to future market environments.

  • Security Analysis by Benjamin Graham and David L. Dodd
    PRAISE FOR THE SIXTH EDITION OF SECURITY ANALYSIS “The sixth edition of the iconic Security Analysis disproves the adage ‘’tis best to leave well enough alone.’ An extraordinary team of commentators, led by Seth Klarman and James Grant, bridge the gap between the sim- pler financial world of the 1930s and the more complex investment arena of the new millennium. Readers benefit from the experience and wisdom of some of the financial world’s finest practitioners and best informed market observers. The new edition of Security Analysis belongs in the library of every serious student of finance.” David F. Swensen Chief Investment Officer Yale University author of Pioneering Portfolio Management and Unconventional Success “The best of the past made current by the best of the present. Tiger Woods updates Ben Hogan. It has to be good for your game.” Jack Meyer Managing Partner and CEO Convexity Capital “Security Analysis, a 1940 classic updated by some of the greatest financial minds of our generation, is more essential than ever as a learning tool and reference book for disciplined investors today.” Jamie Dimon Chairman and CEO JPMorgan Chase “While Coca-Cola found it couldn’t improve on a time-tested classic, Seth Klarman, Jim Grant, Bruce Greenwald, et al., prove that a great book can be made even better. Seth Klarman’s preface should be required reading for all investors, and collectively, the contributing editors’ updates make for a classic in their own right. The enduring lesson is that an understand- ing of human behavior is a critical part of the process of security analysis.” Brian C.
