Benjamin Graham (author)

Benjamin Graham was an influential economist and investor, best known as the "father of value investing." He advocated for a disciplined approach to investing by analyzing the fundamentals of companies rather than following market trends. His seminal works, including "The Intelligent Investor," emphasize the importance of understanding a company's intrinsic value—its true worth based on assets and earnings—before making investment decisions. Graham's teachings have shaped the investment strategies of many successful investors, including Warren Buffett, who credits him as a major influence in his career. His principles promote long-term investment and financial prudence.
