New Releases by Benjamin Graham

"Graham''s ideas inspired the investment community for nearly a century."--Smart Money "Graham''s method of investing is as relevant today as it was when he first espoused it during the Roaring Twenties."--Investor''s Business Daily Benjamin Graham''s revolutionary theories have influenced and inspired investors for nearly 70 years. First published in 1934, his Security Analysis is still considered to be the value investing bible for investors of every ilk. Yet, it is the second edition of that book, published in 1940 and long since out of print, that many experts--including Graham protégé Warren Buffet--consider to be the definitive edition. This facsimile reproduction of that seminal work makes available to investors, once again, the original thinking of "this century''s (and perhaps history''s) most important thinker on applied portfolio investment."

The volume you hold in your hands is Graham''s timeless guide to interpreting and understanding financial statements. It has long been out of print, but now joins Graham''s other masterpieces, The Intelligent Investor and Security Analysis, as the three priceless keys to understanding Graham and value investing.

As he writes in the preface, "if you have precise information as to a company''s present financial position and its past earnings record, you are better equipped to gauge its future possibilities. And this is the essential function and value of security analysis."

Readers will learn to analyze a company''s balance sheets and income statements and arrive at a true understanding of its financial position and earnings record. Graham provides simple tests any reader can apply to determine the financial health and well-being of any company.

Graham''s original language has been restored, and readers can be assured that every idea and technique presented here appears exactly as Graham intended. Highly practical and accessible, it is an essential guide for all business people--and makes the perfect companion volume to Graham''s investment masterpiece The Intelligent Investor.
