'The Intelligent Investor' by Benjamin Graham, considered the bible of investing, teaches the importance of value investing—a method focused on making long-term, sustainable investments. Benjamin Graham emphasizes the concept of "Mr. Market," a metaphorical investor driven by panic and euphoria, to illustrate the irrational behavior of the stock market. Graham advises investors to remain analytical and disciplined, ignoring the market's mood swings. The book introduces key strategies like the margin of safety—purchasing stocks at prices significantly below their intrinsic value to ensure a buffer against potential losses. It also stresses the importance of diversification, advising investors to spread their investments across different sectors and asset classes to mitigate risks. Graham’s philosophy is not about seeking huge profits quickly but about developing a smart, patient approach to investing that can weather market fluctuations and yield consistent gains over time.
