Ben Graham

Benjamin Graham, often referred to as the "father of value investing," was an influential economist and investor. He emphasized the importance of analyzing a company's fundamentals, such as earnings and assets, to determine its true value, rather than following market trends or speculation. His most notable works, "Security Analysis" and "The Intelligent Investor," laid the groundwork for value investing strategies that prioritize long-term growth over short-term profit. Graham's principles advocate for buying undervalued stocks and maintaining a disciplined, rational approach to investing, which have influenced many successful investors, including Warren Buffett.
