Warren Buffett-widely considered the most successful investor of all time-has repeatedly acknowledged Benjamin Graham, the “father of value investing”, as the primary influence on his investment approach. Indeed, there is a direct line between Buffett’s record-shattering investing performance and Graham's investing system that revolves around ascertaining the true business value (aka “intrinsic value”) of publicly-traded companies. The author distills the best from Graham's extensive published works and draws from personal interviews he conducted with Warren Buffett and many other top investors, as well as Graham's surviving children and friends. Carlen's book integrates Graham's eventful life with his proven techniques for generating wealth.
