Product Description
"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. .

Security Analysis 6th Edition - Alex Vayner Review October 17, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Security Analysis is a definitive and clear guide to understanding value investing, and conducting thorough fundamental analysis on a stock of your choice, allowing for an informed investment decision.
The insights you can draw from this book are directly and immediately applicable to the real world of common stock selection. At the very least, Security Analysis will provide you with:
- A framework/guidelines you can use to capitalize on opportunities in secondary issues
- A process for understanding balance and income sheets
- Perspective on corporate governance and stockholder-management relations
This classic is the best and the most thorough read in its class. Without a doubt, it also provides clear insight into the mind of a genius, Benjamin Graham. That said, this is not an easy read, a bit on a dry side, and does not allow you to "breeze through" its roughly 740 pages (appendix including) without understanding and building on the information in previous chapters.
What makes this 6th Edition worth the money (in case you already own the classic 1951 edition) are the additional essays and entries that are selected specifically for their relevance to today's changing world and the exuberant market conditions.

 A Convenient Reading of the 2nd Edition October 15, 2008
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
This is a re-issue of the 2nd edition in more modern form. There's no need to talk about the content and importance of this book to value-investor. But some reminder concerning this edition: 1) It is an abridged edition of the original 2nd edition (published in 1940). A total of 10 chapters have been deleted. 2) The Appendix Notes was also deleted. That's why the publisher could keep the pages at around 700+ something. 3) In compensation for the missing chapters, the publisher has attached a CD which contained the pdf format of the original 2nd edition (with 52 complete chapters as well as the Notes). I think that's really the most valuable part of this edition. That why I commented that it's a more convenient version of the 2nd edition.

and there is good reason for it. This is the book that can make you wealthy. The added essays for this edition are fabulous and well worth many times the price of the book.
More than technique value investing is an attitude and a logical thinking pattern. Benjamin Graham was so well rounded (Greek, English and Math majors at Columbia) in his background that he could write a book that is full of ever-lasting principles. (There is even a discussion about the dangers of investing in low-quality mortgages and how they could be packaged to look enticing - how's that for something written almost 70 years ago?)
If you are a serious investor, you'll want to read this book.
A Classic, Updated September 18, 2008

This book is a must-read for every investor; that said, it's a very difficult read. This edition contains essays that make the timeless lessons clearer for today's investors.
With Mr. Market currently having a fit, this book is as important as ever.
