Benjamin Graham (born Benjamin Grossbaum, May 8, 1894 - September 21, 1976) was an influential economist and professional investor. Graham is considered the first proponent of Value Investing, an investment approach he began teaching at Columbia Business School in 1928 and subsequently refined with David Dodd through various editions of their famous book Security Analysis. Well known disciples of Graham include Jean-Marie Eveillard, Warren Buffett, William J. Ruane, Irving Kahn and Walter J. Schloss. Buffett, who credits Graham as grounding him with a sound intellectual investment framework, described him as the second most influential person in his life after his own father. In fact, Graham had such an overwhelming influence on his students that two of them, Buffett and Kahn, named their sons, Howard Graham Buffett and Thomas Graham Kahn, after him.

Since it was first published in 1949, Graham's Intelligent Investor has sold millions of copies and has been praised by such luminaries as Warren E. Buffet as "the best book on investing ever written." "Benjamin Graham was a seminal figure on Wall Street and is widely acknowledged to be the father of modern security analysis Security Analysis and The Intelligent Investor are still considered the bibles for both individual investors and Wall Street professionals" (The Buffer Stock Project). Grahamâ s main investment approach outlined in The Intelligent Investor is that of value investing, an investment strategy that targets undervalued stocks of companies that have the capabilities as businesses to perform well in the long run. To determine value, investors use fundamental analysis. Mathematically, by multiplying forecasted earnings over a certain number of years times a capitalization factor of a company, value can be determined and then compared to the actual price of a stock. There are five factors that are included in determining the capitalization factor, which are long-term growth prospects, quality of management, financial strength and capital structure, dividend record, and current dividend rate. To understand these factors, value investors look at a company's financials, such as annual reports, cash flow statements and EBITDA, and company executives' forecasts and performance.

First edition, early printing (code of F-Y, i.e. June 1949, to copyright page, earliest April 1949). A popular investment classic, in which Graham, known as the "father of value investing", forcefully expounds his investment philosophy; retaining the rare jacket. After the success of his groundbreaking, but specialized work Security Analysis, Graham "motivated by the need for consumer education and protection. produced a version of his investment text designed for the individual investor. The Intelligent Investor was a hit. A book of less than half the size of Security Analysis, nevertheless it was written with the same clarity and integrity. In it, Graham clearly distinguished between investing and speculating. An investment, he explained, was based on incisive, quantitative analysis, while speculation depends on whim and guesswork. Graham intended the book for the man on Main Street, but as with his earlier book, Wall Street professionals found it indispensable. Because it was so widely read, the book brought greater visibility, respect and prestige to the field of security analysis" (Lowe, pp. 129-30). "Those who would criticize Graham's investment philosophy must contend with his spectacular investment record, purported to have returned about 17 percent per annum from 1929 to 1956. Even worse, one must now deal with the unabashed support and investment results of Graham's most famous disciple, Warren E. Buffett, the most famous and successful stock investor of the twentieth century" (Rubinstein, A History of the Theory of Investments, pp. 68-9). Buffett is quoted as saying "no one has ever become poor reading Graham". Dennistoun & Goodman 501; Zerden, p. 23. See Janet Lowe, Benjamin Graham on Value Investing, 1995. Octavo.
