Re: Security Analysis

The 3rd edition is also a bit more relevant to today's market than the 1934 edition. Hope this helps.

Re: Security Analysis
npg,
Thanks, I will get that edition. Also one more question, I just ordered Graham's other book, Interpretation of Financial Statements 3rd Edition (1975, 76 ?), is this a good choice ?

Re: Security Analysis
Looking for a Graham quote and I cannot remember what book it is in. The quote says something to the affect: "99% of all stocks exist at a price in which they become an attractive investment"
Any help would be great! Thanks!

Re: Security Analysis
OK, so far I've read 10 chapters of this book and found it's getting more difficult to read as I proceed further. It's probably due to my lack of experience in accounting and Graham's writing style doesn't help either
I probably will stop reading this book for now and come back later after I gain a little more knowledges in accounting.

Re: Security Analysis
It's all about accounting.
That's why technical analysis is so popular. You need 0 skills to do it. All you need to do is look at a zittery line and say some really silly sounding stuff like: I think the MA is crossing over the 1.5 relative strength index, bouncing off its support line and blah blah blah.... therefore I think this makes a good investment and would recommend a buy now!!! LMFAO!  Nuts. Utterly bonkers. There is no other way describing it. I might just as well throw some bones on the floor.

Re: Security Analysis
On page 113 of the 1951 edition. How did Graham came up with a loss of $300,000 when the price of copper was $ 0.05 instead of $ 0.20
