Editorial Review:
"A road map for investing that I have now been following for 57 years." --From the Foreword by Warren E. Buffett.
First published in 1934, Security Analysis is one of the most influential financial books ever written. Selling more than one million copies through five editions, it has provided generations of investors with the timeless value investing philosophy and techniques of Benjamin Graham and David L. Dodd.
.
As relevant today as when they first appeared nearly 75 years ago, the teachings of Benjamin Graham, �the father of value investing,� have withstood the test of time across a wide diversity of market conditions, countries, and asset classes.
.
This new sixth edition, based on the classic 1940 version, is enhanced with 200 additional pages of commentary from some of today�s leading Wall Street money managers. These masters of value investing explain why the principles and techniques of Graham and Dodd are still highly relevant even in today�s vastly different markets. The contributor list includes:
.
Seth A. Klarman, president of The Baupost Group, L.L.C. and author of Margin of Safety.
James Grant, founder of Grant's Interest Rate Observer, general partner of Nippon Partners.
Jeffrey M. Laderman, twenty-five year veteran of BusinessWeek.
Roger Lowenstein, author of Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist and When America Aged and Outside Director, Sequoia Fund.
Howard S. Marks, CFA, Chairman and Co-Founder, Oaktree Capital Management L.P..
J. Ezra Merkin, Managing Partner, Gabriel Capital Group ..
Bruce Berkowitz, Founder, Fairholme Capital Management..
Glenn H. Greenberg, Co-Founder and Managing Director, Chieftain Capital Management.
Bruce Greenwald, Robert Heilbrunn Professor of Finance and Asset Management, Columbia Business School.
David Abrams, Managing Member, Abrams Capital
. .
Featuring a foreword by Warren E. Buffett (in which he reveals that he has read the 1940 masterwork �at least four times�), this new edition of Security Analysis will reacquaint you with the foundations of value investing�more relevant than ever in the tumultuous 21st century markets.

Got what expected Excellent book.
Although written a long time ago, applies to the investment busy today.
The bible on value investing since 1934 I had always intended to read Security Analysis, but due to the size of the book (over 700 pages), I had never gotten around to doing it until now. It was well worth the read. True, some of the examples are dated, like the emphasis on railroad securities and some old accounting rules, but the underlying principles still apply today. The book emphasizes concepts, methods, standards, principles and logical reasoning, so it works in the current environment, just as it did when Graham and Dodd wrote it in... more info
Could be better I bought this book to read what Ben Graham and David L Dodd thought. Not for the comments from other investors. It could be better not to provide comments by others and have the original chapters. Every time I read the book, I have to keep my laptop open to refer to notes and the deleted chapters.
A Must Read To anyone who is reading this, Security Analysis is one of the greatest works ever written. In my opinion, you don't have time NOT to read it. Of course, you shouldn't take every single idea written in any book, even the best, as the absolute truth. You should read Philip Fisher, William Nickerson, Adam Smith, John Burr Williams, John Bogle, Douglas Andrew, and so on, and take all the gems from each book, no matter how small (or how many), and piece together your own method of creating wealth.
