Warren Buffet Books: The Intelligent Investor


Strictly speaking The Intelligent Investor is not a Warren Buffet Book perse’ although its an excellent book for anyone who wishes to understand and emulate Warren Buffet’s investment style.

The Intelligent Investor is one of the first books I bought when I started on my quest of Buffetology in order to understand how Warren Buffet developed his near perfect investing strategy.

If this book will make your Warren Buffet Books purchasing shortlist will depend on how much prior knowledge you have of investing and finance.

If you are completely new to investing and investment strategies then this book may be better left for a later purchase as the book uses very strong investor type language as well as assuming a well rounded knowledge of financial terms, products and economic factors.

Just the same if you have read a number of Warren Buffet Books or you have a burning interest and well rounded knowledge of finance and investment terms, strategies and mathematical formulas, then The Intelligent Investor is an excellent book to learn ‘how’ Warren Buffet developed his billion dollar investment strategy based on value investing.

Some Subjects Covered in ‘The Intelligent Investor’

  • Inflation
  • Defensive Investing
  • Market Fluctuations
  • Investment funds
  • Simplified Security Analysis
  • Thoughts on Earnings per Shares
  • Company Comparisons
  • Stock Selections
  • Dividends
  • Margin of Safety Concept

Overall The Intelligent Investor espouses no groundbreaking secrets in successful stockmarket investing but rather is a highly valuable read to enforce the concept of Common Sense Investing through valuing investment wisdom and taking a longer term investment view.
