Benjamin Graham is well known as the mentor to Warren Buffett and for writing The Intelligent Investor and before that, Security Analysis. Even earlier than those two books, Benjamin Graham wrote for The Magazine of Wall Street between 1917 and 1927. Rodney G. Klein and David M. Darst have compiled these writings in their book, Benjamin Graham On Investing: Enduring Lessons From The Father Of Value Investing.
Benjamin Graham On Investing offers an interesting look at the events leading up to the stock market crash of 1929. Even more interesting is how some of theses events mirror our recent history.
While his later books would have completely formed and detailed ideas, these magazine articles are more succinct, but also lacking in the clarity that Graham would have after the market crash and into the Great Depression.
This book would not be the best choice for those looking to learn about investing, for that Benjamin Graham’s The Intelligent Investor who be more worthwhile. However, for those familiar with Benjamin Graham’s writing, this is a great read to gain further insight into the creation of value investing theory.

Another great book to add to the reading list. Pick me! Pick me!
i just finished reading the intelligent investor and i can see why warren buffett says that it is the best book on investing that he has ever read. i have firmly accepted the concepts of value investing and since i am still in my twenties, i am hoping the long investing horizon that i have will work to my favor (maybe i am going to be richer that the oracle
). I just obtained a copy of security analysis sixth edition and i am immersed in it. it is written by the best finance minds and a young investor can get a wealth of info from them
