Benjamin Graham (Investor)

Benjamin Graham was a renowned investor and economist, often called the "father of value investing." He emphasized the importance of analyzing a company's intrinsic value—its true worth based on fundamentals like earnings and assets—and buying stocks only when their market price is significantly below this value. This disciplined approach aims to reduce risk and ensure a margin of safety. Graham’s principles, detailed in his book "The Intelligent Investor," laid the foundation for modern investing strategies, influencing many, including Warren Buffett, and promoting the idea of thoughtful, patient investing over speculation.
