Benjamin Graham (economist)

Benjamin Graham was an influential economist and investor known as the "father of value investing." He emphasized the importance of analyzing a company's fundamentals—like earnings, dividends, and assets—to assess its true value, rather than just speculating on stock prices. His most famous works, including "The Intelligent Investor," advocate for a disciplined, long-term approach to investing, prioritizing safety and minimizing risk. Graham's principles have shaped the investment strategies of many successful investors, including Warren Buffett, making his ideas foundational in the fields of finance and investing.
