Security Analysis 6th Edition - Alex Vayner Review October 17, 2008
Alex Vayner (New York, NY)
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. br / br /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: br /- A framework/guidelines you can use to capitalize on opportunities in secondary issues br /- A process for understanding balance and income sheets br /- Perspective on corporate governance and stockholder-management relations br / br /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. br / br /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. br / br /Security Analysis Sixth Edition, Foreword by Warren Buffett (Security Analysis Prior Editions)
 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. br /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?) br /If you are a serious investor, you'll want to read this book.

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. br / br /With Mr. Market currently having a fit, this book is as important as ever.
