Amazon Book Description
The immigrant who lost everything in the 1929 Crash—then created the investment discipline that made Warren Buffett a billionaire.
Benjamin Graham had it all in 1929. At thirty-five, he was one of Wall Street's rising stars, managing a successful investment partnership and teaching at Columbia Business School. His portfolio had grown to substantial wealth—the equivalent of tens of millions in today's dollars.
Then the market crashed. Within three years, Graham lost the vast majority of his investors' money and nearly all of his personal fortune. He was devastated, humiliated, and almost bankrupt.
But from that catastrophic failure, Graham did something revolutionary: he created an entirely new approach to investing based on analyzing businesses rather than predicting markets. His framework would transform investing from speculation into a disciplined profession.
In this gripping narrative, you'll discover:

• How Graham's 1929 disaster led him to create "security analysis"
• Why did he teach investors to treat stocks like pieces of businesses, not lottery tickets
• The "Mr. Market" metaphor that explains all market behavior
• How Graham's "margin of safety" protects investors from devastating losses
• Why his student Warren Buffett called him "the second most influential person in my life"
• How Graham's principles still work nearly a century after he created them.

Perfect for investors who want to learn from the man who literally wrote the book on intelligent investing. Written with no jargon or complex formulas—just powerful stories and timeless principles about treating investing as a business discipline, not gambling.
This is part of the bestselling "Invest Like" series—learn from history's greatest investors through compelling storytelling.
"Graham was my teacher and the intellectual father of the discipline of security analysis. What I learned from him was invaluable." —Warren Buffett
