The classic work on investing, filled with sound and safe principles that are as reliable as ever, now revised with an introduction and appendix by financial legend Warren Buffett—one of the author’s most famous students—and newly updated commentaries on each chapter from distinguished Wall Street Journal writer Jason Zweig.

“By far the best book about investing ever written.”—Warren Buffett

Since its original publication in 1949, Benjamin Graham’s revered classic, The Intelligent Investor, has taught and inspired millions of people worldwide and remains the most respected guide to investing. Graham’s timeless philosophy of “value investing” helps protect investors against common mistakes and teaches them to develop sensible strategies that will serve them throughout their lifetime.

Market developments over the past seven decades have borne out the wisdom of Graham’s basic policies, and in today’s volatile market, The Intelligent Investor remains essential. It is the most important book on making the right decisions to protect your investments and make them grow.

Featuring updated commentaries which accompany every chapter of Graham’s book—leaving his original text untouched—from noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, this newly revised edition offers listeners an even clearer understanding of Graham’s wisdom and how it should be applied by investors today.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Wisdom for Investors: A Must-Have 75th Anniversary Edition
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2024
I’ve been fascinated by investing and the markets from a young age, but only in recent years has it become feasible for me to take action and start making my own investments. Personal finance has always been a vital topic to me, and I enjoy reading books that deepen my understanding. Naturally, Benjamin Graham’s The Intelligent Investor has been on my radar for some time.

What’s crazy is how perfectly the timing worked out. I had been thinking about getting the book when I stumbled upon an episode of the TIP Podcast featuring the commentator of this 75th-anniversary edition. Hearing about the new release made me even more excited to finally pick it up.

I’m so glad I did! The book itself is of excellent quality—well-made, with a great price point for such a valuable resource. The commentary included in this edition is incredibly helpful, offering modern insights and breaking down Graham’s ideas in a way that’s easier to understand for today’s investors.

If you’re serious about investing or just starting to take personal finance seriously, this book is an absolute must. Graham’s wisdom is timeless, and this anniversary edition makes it accessible and relevant for a new generation of investors.

Jason Zweig adds a lot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, great updated commentary, but bad paper quality.
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2024
Warren Buffett has said the Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham is by far the best book written on investing. So nothing more for me to add.

What is different in this edition compared to the previous edition? 1. The commentary written by Jason Zweig is excellent and is a completely new commentary than what is found in the previous edition. 2. Jason also emphsized the important texts in the original by using bold font. So even if you have the previous edition, you might still want to buy this one as well especially for the updated commentary.

What I don't like: I wish the book were made using higher quality paper as the razor thin paper makes highlighting bleed into the other side. I take 1 star out for this.

The Intelligent Investor is a timeless classic! While obviously Benjamin Graham's input remains frozen in time, due to him passing many years ago, most of his theories still stand the test of time.

Jason Zweig's input & thoughts bring each chapter up to current modern times.

I have been in the trading/investing game for close to 25 years, most of the contents of the book you learn by a trial by fire method early on

1.0 out of 5 stars Too much fluff
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2024
Very dry, very long, very outdated. Same concepts repeated over and over again. How much is even from the original?
