Benjamin Graham (Investment advisor)

Benjamin Graham (1894-1976) was an influential investor and economist, often regarded as the father of value investing. He advocated for thorough analysis of a company's financials to identify undervalued stocks, emphasizing long-term investment over speculation. His seminal works, especially "The Intelligent Investor" and "Security Analysis," provided frameworks for assessing risks and rewards in stock investments. Graham's principles have shaped modern investment strategies, promoting a disciplined approach to investing based on intrinsic value and margin of safety, making him a key figure in the field of finance and a mentor to prominent investors like Warren Buffett.
